That's just the tip of the iceberg, though - there's a long tail of little details which go along with Fossil's "all history is immutable" philosophy. That said, removing a user from your login table "should" have no drastic effect. Clones don't clone all the users, either. But they can't be removed from historical data (any formal record of a change, which includes checkins and saving a wiki page). -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
