On the Lightpost description page: http://pmog.com/codex/tools/ligh...

It says:
players should deploy a lighpost on it

It should be:
players should deploy a lightpost on it

As a suggestion, wouldn't "lamppost" be more a more fitting vernacular to go with the genre?

I agree. For the first few days I wrote about PMOG I usually referred to them as "lampposts."

From the codex reading I got the impression that the lightposts weren't just 'lamps' to brighten the local darkness, but were real 'Lightposts' that shone on the path to a new dimension of browsing.
Does that make any sense?

Pixie. Yes & no. Either way I am continually reminded of the streetlight just inside the wardrobe in Narnia.

I must agree with evil-jim. Also, I heart lamppost, it sounds sound much nicer than lightpost when spoken. Also, lamppost doesn't set off my spell checker, but lightpost does. :-P
