Not I. Anthere unblocked the account, after receiving the password to it from our 
anonymous friend in some manner. She tells me that she's changed the password to 
lock him out: see user:mediator for her explanation. Anthere's a bona fide 
contributor, so I don't think we need to be fearful about the issue.

It might help if we relaxed a little. I intend to lead the way in this by opening a can of 
beer. Mmm, intoxicating. :)

> We can talk about the idea of role accounts *here*

Well, we can, but it would make more sense to me to use

http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role_account

for the concept in general, and 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/user:mediator

for the specific proposed account. Most of the discussion has been going on there so 
far. I continue to dislike the idea, but since Anthere and Eclecticology, both of whom 
I respect, think it has merit, I think it's wise to wait and see where they go with it 
before dismissing it [sic].
