That's exactly right. This wouldn't replace

just augment. I'm getting real sick of high school IP addresses that
vandalize and then say, "Oh, must have been someone else." Better to
just lock that down at a level where you can leave a message and be
sure it is getting to the right person. But only in situations where
it has been shown to be a recurrent problem, of course.

They're not always lying, though. I have my own IP when I edit from my
room, but if I use the shared labs downstairs, I have to use one which
could be any one of about four thousand students. I've had to unblock
it a few times before - in cases like this, such a block would be
really useful, though.
