With IBObjects is a tutorial on surveys. IBExpert picked these up
somehow and displayed them as if they were users of my current database.
This is a bug in IBExpert.

I used explorer to search inside all files on my hard drives for
references to 'Raymond Baldwyn' (that existed in the security DB) and
found none, so I don't know how it got there.
