And will thus potentially end up in the effing weights.

Wouldn't thinking so be the default for the HN crowd? I'd have thought any hacker would assume any text you type in a random website would be used however the website administrator wanted. (Not that the general public would think so.)

This was the first thing I thought too.
Even if this thing wasn't publicly displaying the names, I would assume they would be collecting them for something.
Can't trust anything like this online.

Ugh too fucking late. What a privacy nightmare.
Just deployed a fix for this; removed latest and capped pagination.
