Actually, that's not a bad idea. Of course, there's the larger problem;
verifying that the address space previously sullied is now worthy of
being cleaned up. In Nick Shank's case (and Bravo! to Nick), I would say
that he's off doing the right thing. It would seem that some serious
investigation would be necessary before acting as a third party for
others in a similar boat, of course.
I certainly have the time, skills, and inclination.
