Truncated
I really hate how some companies (credit cards, insurance, etc) use a 10-character field for first names. I'm sick of receiving legal documents addressed to "Christophe Lyon".
And don't give me the argument about that being the maximum length word the computer system can hold. I write software for a living, I know it's not beyond a computer's abilities to save words longer than 10 characters.

A bit crabby today?

Leave Christophe alone ... must be because of his Russian upbringing.

I figured I had been rather light on the rants lately. Gotta make sure the site lives up to its name!

I tend to have the same problem, with 8 character fields.
At least yours is awful francais and if Im not mistaken, you are. Roll with it!
