This is something I've never understood....the requirement for full names.
 Since I can put down any two character strings separated by a space, the
requirement is meaningless, isn't it?   Or if I say that I'm Dan Smith
instead of Dan Lester, or any other thing I care to make up?  What's the
point?  It seems particularly meaningless for the vast majority of lists in
which no one but the listowner can review the membership anyway.
