I'm admittedly easily amused, but that's a pretty nifty quick trick to count a character limit. Consider it stolen! ;)

I suppose if one was *really* creative with the letter smashing in the name, FB groups could be set up to account for the limit, but they'll probably lock down the domain. I think they do now in the personal name field in MSM. I know I can't put my full email in there. It fits - it rejects the .com. I think I also tried the FB group too, but not completely sure about that.

I understand their argument. I was told it was mostly in part due to a privacy / protect the innocence of children thing. But they could block a ton of buzz words. OR, and I know this is by NO means ideal, but it's a fix of sorts.... back in the early days of FB gaming (2006ish) several apps had drop downs. Pat questions, answers, kudos, directives, etc - they could be used both in the group & individually. In this case think things like; Everyone level now!, Great Work!, Are you ok?, Need more time?, What is your MSM ID?, Reach goal or be booted next week., (etc).

Like I said, it's not perfect, but it *is* a workable solution.

Sorry. I think we completely hijacked this thread. The discussion on it has been awesome, though. Apologies to the OP.  :)
