And to fill out the story, {space}merlyn is me. I was looking at Hot{space}Potatoe,
or whomever that is, wondering how to type the space on a /tell in the chatterbox.
And then I thought spaces should be illegal in user names (didn't we already
decide that, or was it LONG names that are illegal?). I tried creating merlyn{space}
and was happy that this was rejected, but then when I created {space}merlyn,
woo hoo!
I think all whitespace should be illegal in names. There's too much
stuff around here that counts on a solid name. What a mess if this could
continue!
