[dvdvol] queue control

[John Hagerson]

Well, requiring a second visit to the web site would cut down on the "Hey,
Vern! Lookee here! I can get free stuff from the Internet." I don't know how
often this happens now, but we would reduce it.

I think that we're all agreed that "third world" access is the most
important part of providing the CDs and DVDs. By "third world" I also mean
to include rural and more isolated portions of "first world" countries.

It's a great idea, and one I would go for, if paypal were available in more 
countries.  You bet it would decrease the number of requests, but it would 
also keep people from the poorer countries from gaining access.

Unfortunately, I don't really have a better alternative.  The only idea I 
came up with was to have the person type their e-mail address into a 
form.  They would then be e-mailed a password which they could use to fill 
out the form like they do now.  However, the catch would be that they 
couldn't return to fill out the form until 72 hours had elapsed.  If they 
forgot, then they probably didn't want the discs anyway.

Thoughts? :)
