Uhhh...Ben's hack needs to be cleaned up :)
A fixed e-mail address would be worse, it would give Ben a back-door entry into any SDM on the planet! :)
How about checking for sysadmin or something else along those lines? Even better would be to investigate to see if Ben got far enough along with assigning admins etc to let that code disappear entirely. Easiest would be just to ask him...
