You're right, Peter. I wasn't thinking of it like that. I obviously need to think more on this. The arguments about simply fixing account problems is a good one, and I think we actually might have something in the middle. For example, if I scew up my login 3 times and need my account fixed, as I was authenticated before, I think my account shuold be fixed. if, on the other hand, I had missed the dozens of emails (personal and to lists) begging me to authenticate my account and still didn't, then maybe too bad.
