OK, I see the confusion now... Sorry for being ambiguous. When I wrote: "Anyway, here are some examples that do seem gray to me and may need careful attention...(these have all been disclosed publicly on LUGNET by their owners)" in: http://www.lugnet.com/admin/general/?n=2082 I meant carefully and tactfully deciding whether or not those ID's would be OK, and if necessary, gently and diplomatically explaining why they weren't. I didn't mean to imply that they were OK, a priori or otherwise, and certainly not because someone was an older user. I just meant that they were potentially sensitive cases. --Todd
