Oh, I didnt actually think of it like that :)  First thing I thought of
was people setting their aliases to try and confuse you, say someone
made a new MSN account and set their 'Friendly Name' to Sean Egan (I
assume there is nothing stopping them doing that - not that I have any
idea where the friendly name comes from :) ) and they then sent you
a few messages, and managed to get you to add them to your contact list.
If you accidentally poked that "reset friendly name" option on that MSN
user, and their alias was shown in the ticker, you wouldnt know which
Sean it was.
