or in your ls you can tell, or your friends list, or sent you a tell first. i was just saying that if someone, you do not know, you want to talk to removing the surname is not going to help. what's the difference between asdfgasdfg asdfg and asdfgasdfgasdfg? if they are going to have a strange name the name will be strange regardless of surname or not. i used that name because they said limit to 15 chars so i made it exactly that. i don't mind the option for not using it for people that only want 1 name, but the excuse of trying to send a tell will not change if it happens.
