You're not ahead of yourself at all, you've just outlined a an obvious
fault in our current offering is all.  The "how do you plan on tracking
all that?" was a literal question :)  How do we go about implementing all

writing scripts that would parse logs and the like and 'touch' the
account but that is a lot of work.

Anyone have any other ideas?
