What irks me the most, is that changing from a good name(!) to ??? all of sudden. And whoever thought using ??? was a good idea should really take a few considerations what this means for logs, IMs and so on if suddenly everyone is ??? I can understand that it is a problem if the name cannot be resolved. But why not at least take the safe route and use the old one (if there was already one) and try again instead of overwriting a good cache entry with ???. There should be a few fallback strategies like: a) Try to keep the old cache entry. b) Use the normal user name. c) Maybe even use the UUID. But just showing everyone (in the worst case) as ??? really screws things up IMO.
