Friends List Garbled Ëb¡§‼§ÄeK¶§»█N╚┘¡

I had someone ask me to add them to my friends list the other day. "No problem" I said. I pressed ESC, clicked on FRIENDS, logged in to the friends server, went to Add New Friend. It brings up a list of who's currently on the server. Unfortunately, the list is garbled.

It kinda looks like:

ÄC╗§
m█
Aȑ
Æô
ô☺♦
☺57
y
♪♂☺

I can add them like normal friends, however. This happens all the time, no matter what server, no matter who's playing, no matter how many bananas I ate that morning, so on and so forth.

On the server I had to apologise to the guy. He thought I was a "complete noob" though and he's now no longer my friend because of that. He said something along the lines of "you can't even add a friend!??? You must be a ****en moron". The subsequent fight ruined any chance of a potential friendship / relationship. It's a lonely world. I'd like a solution to this prob so I don't lose any potential friends in future. I don't have IRL friends, y'see. I'm actually a hermit. I sit in a darkened room all day long, the only light I see is emanating from the 19" CRT bombarding me with electrons. I gain sustenance by capturing passing mites and grubs. My electric computer is powered by an extension cord down the hills to the nearest township.

Thanks for your time.

I was only kidding about losing the friend bit - but he surely must've thought less of me But if someone started acting like that, I wouldn't want anything to do with them anyway!

I'm still trying to add the dude whenever we come across each other but it's the same story every time.

I asked on the server and 2 other ppl have the same problem...so it seems relatively common.
