When I started using Leechammer a long time ago, I remember reading
that the Ignore list drops the oldest entries as new ones are added.
The old entries become useless anyway as user names change from
session to session. The total number of entries is limited, but
the rolling effect purges the list over time.

I can't remember whether I read that on the Leechammer site or saw
it in a newsgroup discussion.

This ability of a leech to re-queue after being "Ignored" is a new
observation for me.
