He uses a googlemail account, and that is probably visible to a checkuser, 
too. A lot of hacking issues relate to weaselling into a system through 
people who should know better. I've seen it the other way around, where it 
was hard to get any work done, because nobody knew the passwords, and 
everybody knew how to stifle initiative. Security issues concern us all. 
Judging from his lack of respect for policy (integrity, really), he is very 
probably a banned user. If the admin candidate approval process is thorough, 
and all admins hav a modicum of integrity, then he will never get through. 
It is still annoying. Plus, no admin actions went against his account:

on wikipedia. I omitted a header-complete copy of my correspondence with him 
on this list. Maybe it should go on nanas...I hav not figured that out.
