Would be nice since you could anyway lie your name :) > > - Beregar (Beregar@majik.netti.fi) what I ment, was that every time I'd want to talk to more than one people at a time, I would have to name them to something to distinguish their sayings, be it either mr. A and mr. B, or Murgthurg and Brotharu, it still is very tedious if you _have_ to do it every time before you open up a conversation. it would be little more acceptable if you could name things only once and after that remember them, or even more acceptable, even quite nice, if when someone says his name, others will automagically call him by that name and know who is speaking. what I am against is an UI that requires much clicking and typing to do basic things, like in Windows, when you want to change some simple thing, you have to click through thousands of icons and windows before you can do it. - malekith
