Well, so far I haven't received a batch of blank invites on any 
account.  You can be sure I won't sell them for $0.99 on ebay if I do!  
The last of the three I bought last night arrived a bit ago.  Been 
trying to think of a good name, but almost everything I come up with 
has been taken.  I'm also checking the really obvious ones just for fun 
and none has been available.  I'd suggest going the ebay route to get 
your address sooner rather than later if you're after a specific 
account name.

Cheers,
Gary
