I did not say it does not make sense, did I ?
I just put forward my observations. :)

However, now that you are talking about it, I think 
it's not totally unreasonable to want to get accounting 
update on the 'administrator' account. There maybe
cases where the accounting need to be done on ensamble 
basis of the traffic coming in/out of the whole box.

Any agreement or objection ?
