You keep using the word "need"; I do not think it means what you think
it does. :-)

Seriously, why is it so important? It's a nice to have, and I
recognize that you've spent a bunch of time on it. But if the goal is
to get better statistics, and in exchange we forcibly map all Mark
Browns to one e-mail address, and/or force them to all adopt middle
initials (what if there are two Dan Smith's that don't have middle
initials) just for the convenience of your statistics gathering, I
would gently suggest to you that you've forgotten which is the tail,
and which is the dog.

Regards,
