In particular, note that if you delete a user record,
anyone can now create a
new user account with the same name, but it will have a different user id
number. In addition to being confusing and annoying, this can cause mismatches
where things can't be looked up that matched the old user.
This particular case has a user which hasn't been used before, so it's
not so big a deal. Still, Rob mentioned the password setting
maintainance script in the ticket I started.. and so that's an
excellent solution for me.
