I agree with the sentiment that some deletionists are too anal about user  
boxes.
Who... Cares ?  Leave people alone and get onto something important  and 
useful :) (The last sentence is said for humourous emphasis and not as a  personal 
attack against any person living, dead or fictional.)
 
At any rate.  This makes me wonder if we could set up an off-project  "social 
networking" site just for Wikipedians.  You'd link from here to  there and 
back seemlessly.  It seems like it *could* address both sides of  the situation.
