Right. Sorry for any confusion on my part. When you said "mistakenly erased my
lugnet password. could one of you please send it to me." I took that to mean you
wanted *IT* sent rather than a new one generated and sent. So I explained,
thinking that it might be of benefit to people that don't know how it works.

Fair enough, but it's a good practice to try mailing anyway, as Todd is trying
to get better at responding in a timely fashion and if you mail soem of the rest
of us instead or in addition, we will work it offstage instead of cluttering
this group up with it.
Long term I'd like to see this be a function you can just execute yourself...

Right. I think there's merit in those links being linked from other places as
even I have a hard time finding them. Would putting them in the admin.general
sidebar be helpful?
