I've inspected my error logs repeatedly over the past year, and not even counting the automated distributed brute-force hacking attempts, I'd say about 98 out of 100 are not my users making mistakes, but people seeing if any given user/pass combo will magically work to unlock the gates of paradise.

You certainly bring up a very good point though - no sense pissing off any paying customers. I'll make a page with a polite suggestion to check their typing and try again, but give a whole bunch of links to other sites/sponsors/FPAs as well.

Thank you, DangerDave!
