[WikiEN-l] Delete Daniel Brandt

I'm afraid he is a notable figure. We should not have some kind of  
hatchet job on him, but someone who has engaged in all the public  
activity he has is certain deserving of a Wikipedia article. Of  
course, he is not a terrorist in the sense Timothy McVeigh was; he is  
just a critic. He makes a point now and then, but from the  
perspective of users whose privacy is at risk he is more of a  
destructive vandal. His point about anonymous people wielding power  
has some traction, but I notice that folks who edit under their own  
name receive more or less the same treatment as people who use  
pseudonyms.
