Hyperbole much? I doubt it's really the most annoying thing in the game.

Also, that's really not a suggestion, it's a bug. It should go either in the bug tracker or bug sub-forum.

My experience has been that nicknames only disappear when you assign them using Dwarf Therapist or some other utility, which means that the bug is in the tool, not in Dwarf Fortress itself.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
