It wouldn't however be the only one. What happens if, say, some other
mathias.ertl at jabber.org posts a lot of warez (or anything illegal for
that matter... child porn?) into a forum and then also posts his JID for
some reason. Then years later I register that same ID (works, because
the old one has been deleted). Then I apply for a Job somewhere and
someone googles my name... shit just happened :-P

Come to think of it, the same would happen if that other guy still uses
that ID... hmm, maybe its not so much a problem.

greetings, Mati
