>Hmm, it should work. By default, the username field has an IS_MATCH and and IS_NOT_IN_DB validator, so you should be able to insert into the beginning of the list. What error did you get?

That doesn't seem right. Anyway, they do need to be unique, so the IS_NOT_IN_DB is necessary, which is why the IS_MATCH was inserted above -- to preserve the existing IS_NOT_IN_DB validator.
