That makes me... cry.

Not  mail-related: a user of our web app forgot his password today and
was  having  a  ridiculously  hard  time using our password reset form
(basic  enter-your-e-mail-and-submit,  but  he kept missing the submit
part).  He declared it broken and demanded a completely new account. I
noted we can't do that without giving him a new username (old accounts
stick  around,  the  usual  primary  key/audit  trail restriction) and
suggested  it would be harder to remember jimpatient2 than jimpatient.
He  got  all kinds of crazy on me. "Fine," I said, "I'll break policy.
You have a brand-new account with the same name."

And did nothing at all.

Then, he said, the reset form started working.

Cheers,

S.
