Your friends usually do the right thing too or can be encouraged to.
But even if they don't, but you do, you won't have a ULA address space
collision.

If you both choose the same ULA value, you've both failed to learn
from history and will both will pay the price. RFC3879 describes the
prices you'll effectively be paying.

You would also be surprised at how easy it is to remember a random
value if you use it enough e.g., type it in enough. I was assigned a
random 6 letter character/number username at an employer in 1998, that
I used up until the end of 1999. I suspect it was so that usernames
weren't guessable, as a further security measure. I can still very
easily remember it today, despite not having used it regularly since
then.

Mark.
