Of course we can. We can infer from the amount of attention attracted the number of users that have dispensed that attention. The period of time over which that amount of attention was gathered and notoriety of the author is irrelevant: all other things being equal, you want to know the number of users impacted at the time by some hypothetical administrative decision. What I'm trying to tell you is two things: 1. I do agree with you that some confusion is bound to arise from the similarity in name, though I'm not sure it warrants any action: that is up to you or others. 2. If you wish to tackle the problem via some specific action, it's much smarter to consider the number of users affected by that action rather than considering who "reserved" the name first. Jo=C3=A3o
