I'm equally laughing because I remember a coding snafu I ran into once, where we were aggressively filtering out "1488" turns out someone finally joined and "1488" was part of their user ID (auto-increment field!), and we realized maybe we shouldn't be checking the auto-increment field, not sure if it was me being too aggressive and not thinking about it, or another developer, but I did laugh once I figured out why that one user was unable to use half of the web app. This was for a gaming community based project, we had a lot of trolls come and go, and they would definitely shove these sorts of references in their usernames, and anywhere else you had custom user input.

The internet is a magical place.

in good faith, you went with a number.

had it been 14 you would have a torrent of ill will where no excuse or response would have been sufficient in the minds of those who fail at life.

We must secure equal forgiveness for the people and the future inadvertent online mistakes.
