That explains the last two changes in Jimmy's user rights (the log, for some reason, appears in my watchlist?). Jimmy - did you find anything useful while checkusering jimmyflathead, and were you asked to do that by anyone in particular?
I wonder mainly about the second part of the question. Should board members be granting themselves checkuser permission to perform investigations on users without first getting approval from the board as a whole or the staff? I'd say most certainly not, and that this is a good reason to remove "founder" permissions.
Jimmy isn't in charge of dealing with the press. If journalists ring his phone off the hook he should refer them to a staff member.
