Okay, my apologies. Once again we're reminded of the fact that text has
an annoying tendency to fail to convey tone.

I'm sorry. I was simply trying to suggest an improvement. If it were
easy. (Of course it's possible, but is it worth the time? Who
knows.) Your joking response seemed like a blow-off to me. I was
mistaken. Okay.
And yes, I fully realized that you didn't write it. The minor quirks
(which feel like design flaws) didn't seem like it was custom-written for
this purpose.
Anyway, there was something of a workaround for my complaint. Just enter
anything for the last name, and once you're added, log in and erase
it. Easy enough. (The only detail is that your login contains that last
name, but oh well.)
Again, I apologize for blowing up at you over a misunderstanding. I
agree, my original suggestion looks more like a complaint. My fault, but
I also blame the toneless text. :)
Thanks, Clay.
