I confess that I haven't followed the CharlotteWebb thing closely. Did
anybody request a CheckUser on them?
Maybe all of my years of being bound by various confidentiality
agreements has made me more sensitive than most, but it seems to me that
giving out even apparently harmless information learned about person Y
when doing a CheckUser on person X would be inappropriate.
