imo the best way would be to use a new file "q3history", so it would be
clear to everyone what is inside. Hopefully nobody has the intention to
share it... Perhaps also add a comment line to the beginning of the file
like "This file may contain passwords so please dont share it" - just
for the real rookies. (though they may not look into the file...)
