I call for judgement on the statement "It is POSSIBLE for a player to
register with a nickname that was used by a now-deregistered former
player." (It's relevant here; there was a player in 2001 also called
David.)

Arguments:
The third paragraph of rule 2170 might imply that this is illegal (but
possible); on the other hand, a player who deregistered in 2001 is
hardly likely to have been mentioned within the past three months,
except in historical information. (Sometimes a long-deregistered player
comes up in discussion, though, such as Andre and eir null patent title
in one recent case, or of course the First Speaker.)

Of course, even if it does turn out to be illegal, I don't think the new
player can be considered guilty of anything, it's almost certainly
UNAWARE-equivalent.

@David: Don't worry, new player registrations nearly always cause some
sort of chaos. That's the nature of nomic...
