Advice on Selectively Hiding Byline

[Tom Lazar]

how about using a local utility and give it a method 'showByLine 
(context, member)' which you can then use for a simple condition?

then you could implement your policy inside that method. also, you  
could register different local utilities to provide different  
policies in different areas of your site.

just my $0.02, hth,
