I wanted to reply to Johannes, but I didn't exactly how to phrase it - you did it perfectly. I still don't understand the need for username to be very representative of one's name. OTOH, my name can be fully written using ASCII, so maybe I miss something. But I've also had to use accounts like abc745, which didn't bother me much over the duration of a semester or year. regards, iustin
