This works for me since I pretty good reading comprehension and memory. What would be most useful is a listing of new users that can be accessed from http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Listusers. That way this job would be much easier. BTW we really /do not/ have 3498 real users -- a good many of these "users" logged in only to abuse our upload utility or for other nefarious or non-contributing reasons (I don't greet any user who hasn't contributed at all).
