It's interesting that you should mention this...I just printed out my latest username/password list; it's now 7 pages long...I've found that some sites/Forums won't accept my first choices...In my case, "Rich B."...It'll say "Name Already In Use"...So I'll try something offbeat like "platypusP08"...and it says, again "Already In Use"...So then I'll try "mxyzlfpwxa" or similar...And once again, "Already In Use"...Finally, I'll try "Cardeno"...and it'll accept it...

It's like it is programmed to reject the first choices whether they are actually in use or not...

So now I don't bother trying to get my proper name in my username...
