that would totally tick me off.

Yes, I was a little surprised! I usually use "intricateartist" for everything, but since Plurk was so new when I joined, I nabbed my name.

someone must've tried to sign up with my name and they said the UN already existed, I guess.

Unnerving! I am having this problem with gmail. Gets me mad. They should know better!

Do you think it's just a case of people forgetting their account name?

or related to the problems that plurk seems to be having
