Hmm, I think you're misunderstanding what I wrote. The user is prompted 
to enter her own resource name when first running the client. It's a 
one-time (per machine) bit of setup that has nothing to do with the 
number of buddies.

The buddy list just displays the resource names that come over the 
wire ... which is why I have an interest in having other clients do 
something useful with them instead of just using "gabber" or something 
like that.
