Which makes Eemeli's contribution[1] particularly valuable. > having all of the information on the SiteAdmin.AuthUser page can > make it very cluttered for an admin to view/modify; putting > info in profile page (with pagelist commands for displaying > summary) keeps SiteAdmin.AuthUser itself clean Yes, but: a) just like one can write a pagelist to extract data from different Profile pages, couldn't one with about the same ease put together a few lines of code to tidy extract (and, why not, handle) data extracted from SiteAdmin.AuthUser? b) Let's imagine we have 10000 users: would a (:pagelist:) work in gathering data from Profiles? Or would it be easier to store 10000 lines in one file? I have no experience, but maybe the second is safer? > a small mistake in SiteAdmin.AuthUser can suddenly wipe out lots > of accounts Same as it is right now, isn't it?

Could be a real bottleneck?
