If he didn't like the idea of a User setting up a separate account for her sister (who did not have Internet access) and then entering bills that her sister had in her posession and with here sister's ZIP code, I don't think he would like your experiment. Sorry I didn't bookmark the post but someone else quoted it in the NE/MA forum in the past few days.
Sure 99.9% of the time thing would probably go smoothly. It's that 0.1% that causes Hank to get all the nasty emails and probably why he says "the rules are the rules" and if he starts bending them for even a good cause, some one else will bend them for something else and so on and so on until the rules have no meaning.

: : I still wanted you to tell us what your experiment would prove? What would be the purpose?

: : Other thoughts…
: : 1) Would you have had 50 different people sharing the same account? That would be mean that each individual would use the same password and e-mail addy?
: : 2) Does the Metro Transit account consist of more than one person? Just wondering?
: : Thanks,
: : HMG,
: : : (1) The response has been 100% criticism.
: : : (2) People criticize without even reading the idea.
: : : (3) Too much trouble to coordinate.
