pgris2··on Surnames from nicknames nobody has any more

I don't like using the body. GET's are easily shareable, bookmarkeable, etc, (even editable by humans). etc. thans to query strings. I rather have a GET with better (shorter) serialization for parameters and a standarized max-length of 16k or something like that.

It's amazing what that people used to be able to do with such limitations. 2k! I can barely make a CRUD app fit in 2G
