Hi Brajesh,

I would be more than happy to allow you to create 300 users for me next
time I need to do this, however, this is not really a feasible option for
me!

Please present some concrete ideas (preferably code) in terms of how to
better solve this problem, which I think everyone would be happy with, but
in the absence of a way to create many multiple users through the user
interface, I do not see any other  way other than the "hacks" suggested.

 It is the best option I have come up with. If you have a better one,
great, but creating several hundred user accounts through the user
interface is really not one of them.

Regards,
Jason
