Great.  I've reported the following bug for the safe mode bug.
http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=3D8830

Please provide feedback of what could have been added to Glenn's

confusing.

By default the email address will only be visible to authenticated

collector bots (if not all) will not get to see it, unless they login
