Some people capture logs from the console output (moronic maybe, but hey). What about name duplication? e.g. raggi™ e.g. raggiš
These could resolve to the same charecter (there are two non-ascii chars on the end there). In this event you may have problems with third party tools, in particular stats packages and so on. Interesting, is it possible to put control charecters into your name? What fun, I'm off to play.
