1. At least 20% of them are freepers, tombstoned or otherwise.
It's the thought that counts, though....

3. Hmmm...20% could be problematic...
Diebold has a way of making it into 51%

4. Don't forget sockpuppets.
That has to account for at least 10,000 registrations.

2. That is what I was wondering. Do the tombstoned names get removed?
What if someone was unlucky enough to pick one to try to registered. Would they be allowed to use that name?

5. They remain in the total number of accounts.

Skinner told me in ATA that he estimated 5-10% of that number is tombstoned.
