Hoping that in the future things like Synchronet will become the standard and 
not the rule ---- lets not pull an AOL.

I think ICQ had the right idea with UIN's.

UIN support in the very far, long, distant, extreme back burner, very BOTTOM 
of the to-do list should be concidered.

This Sysop toggle would allow the BBS to ask the user for their "UIN" 
(Universal Identification Number aka the user number in the SBBS User Editor) 
after their alias and before their password.

Also with this system, as to not confuse the crap out of people in message 
areas, to / from fields might look something like this:

From   : Time Warrior (001)
To     : Digital Man  (205)
Subject: Suggestion

Of course allowing numbers like (4573495734954) to be supported (if they 
aren't already).

This is obviously low proirity because the BBS Scene would have to be in full 
bloom again for that massive of a dupe handle problem to exist, which if that 
happens, is at least a few years off. However, it's good to keep an idea like 
this handy on yea ole metephorical post-it-note "just in case".
