I think it is ok if the mechanism doesn't require more than FCFS policy 
for assignment of names. But neither should it be restricted to such a 
policy. IMO sticky nicknames are quite important. It would be upsetting 
if each time I came to the simple chat room I had to wonder whether 
"fluffy" was still Cullen.
