Someone created a username 209.105.200.28. I don't think that should be allowed. Can the username creation code check for usernames that look like IP addresses?

Personally, I'm just glad I'll be able to leave this person messages now. My userid happens to be my real name; many people's aren't. We cheerfully allow koyanisqatsi (sp?) and ansible as usernames, why not the person's IP address?

If you ask for the user's contributions, and the username is someone else's IP address, do you get the contributions of that user, that IP address, or both?
