But you bring up an interesting point... that example could influence many more decisions than I expect, when it really is just an example. Maybe I need to be more creative.

This is what makes "As a User I Want to Log In" my faviourite target for a crusade against bad stories. I don't know a single user that actually want to log in! Not one! They might want some security, and they might want the system to remember who they are. But they bloody well don't find any pleasure in loging in! If anything the "login" story should be something like "As a site-owner/administrator/developer I want users to log in so that I can identify them" becuase really we're the ones wanting to work through a technical problem to deliver some other value.
