You haven't, maybe, but let me drop a few names:

	Rich Rosen
	Tim Maroney (since returned, obviously ;-)
	"Foothead" (fh@eddie.mit.edu -- circumstances unusual here)

It does happen (primarily at universities?).  And it can be argued that even
Rich Rosen, whom many people consider deserving of his fate, had a right to use
of the Net.
