	Well, if you define "deal with people" as "has anyone else
taken their unhappiness as far as has Daniel Brandt?", the answer is
"No". But I don't think that would be a useful definition.

> Beyond Daniel Brandt, do we really have a problem here that needs fixing?

	Yes (IMHO).

	My view is that I'm not going to go on a legal crusade over
my own issues with Wikipedia - that for biographies of living people,
it's an attractive nuisance and a weapon of asymmetrical warfare.
But I sure do think it's a problem that needs fixing.
