Anyone deleted can of course - re-do. We could leave in.. the estranged, known still-alive icons, I'd suppose. Reminds of a car-marque place with 3200 'Members' - and ~ 25-50 'active'. Just a thought - what's in a Number anyway..

And that, I believe, would be heresy 'round these parts. And rightly so on that point, IMHO. As far as deleting users who've never actually logged in beyond their first day or so, I don't know that I have a problem with that (subject to the restriction on those-with-posts...) -YendorMike "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania
