Gloop, In response to: EVERYONE SPEAK UP: 1) Would you rather have SI shut down for a day or two and fix all the bugs. or 2) Keep limping along, having names exposed and just general trouble with the site. I am reminded of a psychology experiment I read about some years ago in which the subjects (it was either lab rats or lawyers, I don't remember) were subjected to some painful stimulus, like receiving an electric shock or getting hit over the head with a mallet or something. Then, at various intervals, they were again subjected to the same painful stimulus. At first, the subjects would yelp and cry and try to get away when shocked or hit or whatever. But after awhile, the subjects got used to it and would just lie there and take it. They felt powerless to defend themselves so they apparently developed a way to convince themselves that it really didn't hurt so much after all. I would vote in response to your question, but like most other votes it would not matter. So I will just lie here on the table and ask SI to swing the mallet down harder. MAD DOG
