It's always possible to manage many accounts. The only evidence you have
that, say, chimaera is one of my accounts is my word, the Login 15 under the
name (I number all my logins) and the fact that its listed as one of my logins
in sarthe's plan (sarthe is also my login). I manage multiple logins fairly
effectively and nobody's requiring me to verify that I'm different people.
Certain people might have the motivation to tak advantage of this.

The impression I got from folks who wanted multiple listings was:
(a) They liked seeing their names on someone else's page, and
liked seeing several of their "names" even more
(pathetic, but true)
(b) They think that Grex is a huge system with millions of hits,
so being listed here guarantees that thousands of people will
see their pages (so far from true that it's pathetic)
(c) One listing was personal, others were for organizational accounts
(like rcurl)

As for A and B, I would hope that a little explaining will help these people
understand the error of their ways. I don't see any problem with C.

Explaining the realities of Grex's popularity put off a few of
the requests, but a fair number took the "it's free, so why not?"
approach. Explaining that providing Web service isn't free for *us*
didn't seem to work, either. (These are the same folks who thought
that Grex could afford to provide 1-800 service because it's free. >8)

Hmmm...I've never actually responded to one of those 'get yourself a free
homepage' ads...but perhaps a pointer in that direction?

If you can collect "free home page" URL's for us, that would be very
handy. "Free e-mail" URL's would be convenient too.

A very common reason people want multiple listings is for offsite homepages.
They want one for here, and one for hotmail, and one for AOL, and one for
school, and... I'm against that. I have no problem listing an offsite page,
but only if that's the only page for that login. (person, whatever) That
said, while I am a webmaster, I've never added people to the users.html file.
I've never gotten around to it.

Actually, while I was gone for a few days, I think Dan finally did add a
few people to the list (subsequent to his disclaimer in resp:33.
(Thanks, Dan)
The users.html file got 300 hits in the last week. That's 43 hits per day.
Not a lot. But it is big, though. Each hit results in 22.6Kb sent over the
link. It may be time to break it up, as Marcus suggests.

Yep, I did finally get around to finding the users.html file and adding people
to it.

policing farther than 'one login, one page' is not the sort of
ransacking grex needs to further itself, imnsho.

I think that makes perfect sense. The vast majority by far won't
want that, but a few will. If someone askes for 147 pages, we can
deal with that when the time comes.
