John, one more thing.

Last night, SI put my username on the Internet because somebody got the username code confused with the the code that puts an alias up on the site. I saw a few that had names, probably actual names of members.

Not cool, dood. Waaaay not cool.

The professional thing to do would be to hold off on the "site performance issues" deal and just send a message to the members notifying them that their usernames had been compromised, and that should they so desire, they could contact someone at SI to change their username. And you should have people ready to handle it when a member contacts you for that.

That would be the right thing to do, I think.

Just thinking out loud here.
