Slow down everyone :) Nobody is suggesting you are going to destroy the
site David. Dave's point is valid. Root/Sysop should be reserved on all
services. The fact that you have higher privs on other services isn't
relevant. We all have varying level of privs on the boxen that doesn't
mean we should all have root/sysop (insert favorite dangerous account
here).
