If their userpage is a red link or they're anon, that tells you
something about them too ;-) As it is, IPs don't get no respect. Which
is unfortunate, but statistically justifiable.

That said, people *still* don't believe that "edit this page" means
them too. I try to encourage people to edit, saying we are very
pleased to have just anyone fix typos, etc., without having to create
yet another web page login to remember.
