to be honest - I think the FB dev team need to re-assess the user info
access in the light of new FB2 security before too much can be done.
e.g. you cannot blank out first, last, middle name fields - once you enter a
name, the only way to get rid of it is to replace it with a space character.
Seems stupid to me. But the only other solution is to make alter user,
delete the user and then re-create it. For that to work you need to provide
the password everytime you make a change e.g. correct surname spelling. I'm
loathe to enforce that but what do you think?
