So, www.howardstern.com is out?  Or is that only when the target is a
Wikipedian?  What if Rosie O'Donnell (who is regularly attacked and
humiliated by Stern) creates an account?  Hmm, maybe that should be

members of the Wikipedia inner circles?  Wait, no, there are no
Wikipedia inner circles...  Hmm....
