This is a) incomprehensible and b) unnecessary. If you want out, just drop out. There is no need to imply that you are in some way forced out by someone else's reprehensible behaviour. Though the question to which you object seems fine to me. The answer to your question, David, is that for some of us that string is a) unreadable and b) totally unmemorable (since it is unreadable in the first place). A non-changing name is obviously (well, it is obvious to me) a good idea - but I would want one that I had some hope of both reading and remembering. This thread has told me how to achieve that!! Great! Lisi
