True, but I think it will stop the 'casual' folks from doing these kinds of things. If there is a log of this person doing such a thing, there is more reason to come back and get him for abuse of resources than there would be if there is no record of how the names are found. Making them do more work to get names is a good thing IMHO, and forcing them to leave tracks leave us more room for responding with legal recourse if necessary. Nate
