Yeah. Yesterday I was running a check on someone with lots of dialup
accesses (AC matter, and the user came out completely clear, by the
way). This means check every IP ...

I could easily spend two or three hours a day doing nothing but
CheckUser. Considering I'm currently marked "away" on the en: ArbCom
due to work pressures, I really really don't have the time ...

en: could easily do with another five checkers. All five of the new
ones are on the ArbCom too, by the way.

We could also do with a closed mailing list for CheckUser users - IP
matching is an art, not a science, and needs experienced knowledge and
peer consultation of what's a match and what's a coincidence. (It'll
also help me/us work on [[m:Help:CheckUser]] ;-)
