Are all of the BYU professors now wearing those black hoods, or is it only a requirement for those who are part of the Skinny L list?

An excellent question.

All members of Skinny-L wear the black hoods, but only on high ceremonial occasions like executions and baby-sacrifices. We're discouraged from donning ceremonial regalia for day-to-day unethical behavior. For harrassing and stalking people, we typically prefer Speedo swimwear with stripes.

Well, if Scratch is reading this, I guess he knows that if he sees someone in a striped Speedo lurking around, he better run! LOL

Not at all. If I didn't go public with it, Scartch would eventually reveal it anyway. (Yes, he's that good.) I figure I might as well announce it myself.

I like these two sites. Be warned that the former just had a face lift and seems to have lost a few posters. LDSnet can be much easier on the senses.+

One reason that the pay-to-use sites are that way is royalties paid to the publishers to the many books on the sites. Although the Church owns Deseret Book, which owns Gospelink, there are other publishers on the site as well. Having people pay the site helps the site pay all the royalties to the publishers.
