I bet there are living, individual users who wouldn't want their birthdays broadcast, either -- some people don't celebrate birthdays.
Maybe a ticky-box in the account settings? "[ ] Don't send birthday notifications to other users." Webcomic artists, icon artists who have separate icon journals, caretakers of memorial accounts, etc. could just go in and check the tickybox, without having to switch the journal to a different account type. ~ Rachel -- http://bohemianeditor.dreamwidth.org http://www.lastsyllable.net This is not the sig you're looking for.
