I gather that it the general agreement is that the

sysops? Anyone who wishes to address the user would still be able to on
the associated Talk page, of course.
I think it best if we don't do this. Having even our own user pages
editable in principle by anyone is good for us as a community. One of
the important "feelings" to avoid is "ownership of pages"... even
user
pages.
