Hi Luke!

I suppose the depends if these are held in the main DB.  I was under the
impression that to avoid massive replication pressure, that these audit
logs were stored elsewhere, and the only thing to update would be the
'week of last logon' timestamp (from memory).  

What other attributes did you think needed updating?
