counter to that: we have a standard that identifying a player is done through eir registrar information (either nickname or email address as contained in the message or headers) because the registrar is literally "responsible for keeping track of players", so anything that doesn't tie to one of those bits of "tracking data" is ambiguous. (this is one of those "I can't remember if it was a cfj or just a discussion" things) -G.
