OK, noting of course that bots won't have any accounts, since we'll just implement the standard thing to make it so bots can't create accounts. However, I'll go along with this assumption for now. > then either it's got one on each account, or it can > experimentally verify which of its accounts overlap. The entire assumption we're making is that there is a 1:1 corresponding between user accounts and sagexxx accounts. There is never any overlap. I think the problem is that I wasn't sufficiently clear in my statement, looking back: "I think the sage server should just have some specific number of limited permission sagexxx accounts, e.g., 1000 of them, and then as new users are created map them to one of those accounts." I specifically meant that new users are maped to exactly one of those accounts *injectively*. But taken out of context this isn't clear at all -- I was arguing 2 paragraphs before that "Using a server pool is unfortunately not the best design," i.e., against a server pool.
