This has not yet proven to be a "stupid idea". None of us knows
enough about it to pass judgment. Many of the problems we chalk up to the
administration are actually students jumping to conclusions. We complain
when they don't come to us with brand new, unrefined ideas for our input,
but when they do we attack them for being half-baked. Is it any wonder we
don't hear about things until they are so far in development?
>From what I have been told, the accounts are already created, they go live
in less than a month. Whether or not students use the accounts is one
thing, but to my knowledge the accounts already exist on the servers and
so a reversal isn't possible or logical.
