hi jeff

gotta move this discussion to thesite, but basically, sure, i guess we
could do that, new user records are populated from the sequence field
(which is nearing 10000, by the way) but i think we could just update the
PK on the default evolt user from 0 to 1 or something...  maybe 937 if
that's not being used...

i know what you're saying about variables, although i'm not convinced it
applies in the case of a userid -- maybe you could write better code that
is less dependent on "tricks" so that a PK is a PK and not a variable?

yes, please

presumably he is subscribed with a different email id on the leo user list
that majorgumbo uses

still, it would be nice to update his weo record (and also set it back to
active=1)

thanks
