At one time thes were in order of joining (which can be useless in its
own way). Can some kind of a sort function be applied.
BTW we really /do not/ have 3498 real users -- a good
many of these "users"
logged in only to abuse our upload utility or for other nefarious or
non-contributing reasons (I don't greet any user who hasn't contributed at
all). Is there a way to get rid of many of these no-longer used user accounts
Lee (just the ones that have been inactive for months and whose user pages
are still edit links)?
Can there be a "Wikepedia reserve army" list where anybody that
hasn't
been seen in 90 days is listed. To get back on the main list, one
simple log-in would do the trick. I would not object to seeing a lot of
"accidental" registrations cancelled completely; many of these people
have probably even forgotten that Wikipedia exists. They can always
re-register if they want.
