I see no problem with responding. The question for me is how, and to whom, besides this hacker (of the slack hacker variety, not kludge writers) should I respond to. Since he responded to me, and may the wonders of stupidity be praised, he asked for my useless password, it might be within my power to get his google account terminated. They in turn can get his internet service contract reviewed. For some reason, googlemail guards IP posting host numbers. hotmail does not.

I would hope RFA is good enough to weed out people stupid enough to respond to such things...

Dear X,
We notice you haven't edited Wikipedia for some time. Perhaps you grew disillusioned with the project after seeing the corruption and bureaucracy at every level? If so, why not help us to help you. We are currently expanding our portfolio of administrator accounts, and as yours remains dormant perhaps you could consider donating it to us - to do so will take you only two minutes: change the password (if desired) and then reply to this email with your login details. We'll do the rest!
Thank you for your time and consideration, and naturally do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Kind Regards,
The Wikipedia Freedom Fighters
