Mike, trust me: this is a very big deal and a very good thing.

Two problems arise at this point.

*First, almost nobody who's using this tool knows how to analyze its data
dumps.  They're pointing to single edits and missing the big stories.
*Second, a lot of the people who've been perpetrating this IP abuse will now
switch to Plan B.

I know what Plan B is.  There are a limited number of Plan Bs out there and
I've foiled them (along with Plan C, Plan D, etc.) many times.  The further
they stroll down the alphabet the worse it looks for them because the
excuses wear out: they can't claim ignorance anymore.
