Hi, This is actually a slightly different issue. Your email is 'BarryBHunter' and you are trying to reserve barrybhunter, which App Engine does not consider to be the same, but Google Accounts does.
Similarly, if your email address is barry.hunter, we don't allow you to reserve barryhunter, b4rryhunter, etc, even though Google Accounts will not allow any of these to be reserved after you register that account. Allowing this is definitely a good feature request :) -Marzia On Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 10:34 AM, Barry Hunter <[email protected]>wrote: > > Hmm, > > http://appengine.google.com/start/createapp? > Sorry, "barrybhunter" is not available.
