Yes. We're talking past each other. What I'm saying is that a banned IP that tries to access the "login" page, regardless of whether it's logged in already, could be served a 404. This could prevent people like Michael or yesterday's vandal from coming back with several different usernames. Again, I'm not sure if this is a good or bad idea--there may be other, bad results as well.
