the Galaxy Server (Aw Uniserver) and then back to the Uniserver (the server

Hamster, have you never tried changing your name to, for example, "E N Z
O" - it doesn't allow you because "E N Z O" would no longer be a unique
screen name. You are allowed to use "E N Z O." with a full stop because "E
N Z O." is a unique screen name because of the full stop.
