Bikes: Some bikes. Hell, they're all the same, ain't they?

I have Rock Shox (sp?) forks. I believe it does have a lock-out feature which I assume means making the fork rigid. Would you recommend doing that for a commuter?
I'd wholeheartedly recommend a lockout fork. Rigid efficiency when you need it, bump softening when you want it. My full-suspension MTB has lockouts front and rear, and when they're both switched over, it's as sharp as a fully rigid bike.
