Yeah but I'm also wondering if that's part of the reason I keep getting database errors in my email.  Had a bunch of them the past week, not sure what it is.

When approving members, make sure you're scrubbing their screen name and email.  Toss out anything that looks repetitive (similar screen name/email) especially if it comes from a bogus looking email addy or is something like "mike126879".  Also do not approve any email that ends in anything shady like ".info", etc.

Cool beans.  Well hearing back from Scott should shine a light on it all.
