My software encrypts passwords as a matter of course. Keeps the handful of
'bad' sysops from abusing the user's accounts, or taking their passwords and
trying them on other boards -- you'd be surprised how many users have the
same password on many different boards.
If someone hacked/downloaded my user base, they would get a file with some
names in it, and the rest of the file would appear as garbage.
And now... back to the birds!
