My rationale was that if garbage is detected, then one cannot assume to be able to interpret the will of the user. In this case, it's quite easy to just ask again, instead of going on and creating an account with data that can potentially contain garbage. But ultimately, I'll accept any judgement on this: it isn't really a big deal. Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <enr...@debian.org>
