True, but I've gone through a similar problem of removing a small phrase or
typo from the friends list and it's next to impossible to remove these as
you must type it out exactly character for character. This is very difficult
in a long friend's name. But this is an excellent suggestion.

The difficulty was in the length of the phrase, not ignorance of how to
remove a standard friend name.
