About a year ago, \*\*Eutychus \*\*started [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=194210) thread asking everyone interested to share their contact information with the board and I thought it might be time to try it again with all the new members we’ve gotten in the interim.

Erlidh on AIM, sadpunk at gmail dot com is the email addy. I’m rarely on Yahoo but am iampunha there. Livejournal is as you’d expect it.

**Aesiron** , your MSN ID is an AOL address? I didn’t know that was possible.

You can sign up for a different net ID in some manner but I’ve forgotten how since I’ve done it. Not that it matters anyway… I don’t have the program on this computer and the MSN Hotmail website won’t allow me to download a replacement.

And my website is in my sig if anyone’s interested in some girly acoustic pop-folk-rock music. 🙂

Y’all see the little AIM dude in the upper-right corner of my post? Click on him to send me an instant message. Same sort of thing works for people who have ICQ, Yahoo, or MSN icons up there.

**Bambi Hassenpfeffer** posted his AIM user name but has no icon in the upper right hand corner of his posts and I assume there’re numerous others that might do the same.

Plus, posting to this thread tells everyone you’re willing to be contacted when some might otherwise be uncertain if it’s appropiate.

Skype: _komiksulo_  
Yahoo Messenger: _komiksulo\_w_  
MSN Messenger: _Komiksulo_  
ICQ: _6217479_

Note that I’m gradually trending away from the sunspace thing; eventually I’ll get around to changing my username here.

It’s interesting… different communities I’m in tend to use different IM networks: the Esperanto-speakers are mostly on ICQ and Skype, certain software people I deal with are on Yahoo, and for a time people I was attempting to meet through Lavalife were mostly on MSN…

Feel free to Aim me, if I remember to turn it on. My yahoo name’s atombracing. I’ve got Skype but never use it, so I won’t bother posting it.

MSN: keatu at hotmail dot com  
I’m always online at work, and I usually have plenty of time to chat. I love my job 😃  
My dad has a different net ID set up on his MSN messenger, and he too doesn’t remember how he managed it. Which is a shame, since I’m only hanging onto my hotmail account because of MSN messenger - I love the ease and simplicity of the program.

On the off-chance that someone actually wants to talk to me via MSN, send me an e-mail when you add me. I hate having random people add me when I have no idea who they are, and it’ll be about a month before I actually get curious (or annoyed) enough to add you.

BTW, to use a non-MSN e-mail for messenger, just go to [create passport](https://register.passport.net/reg.srf?lc=1033&id=6528&ru=http%3a%2f%2fmy.msn.com%2f&sl=1) and enter whatever e-mail addy you use.

I’m **DarkSkeksis** on AIM. Also, I’m a big loser so I’m always online, even if I’m not actually there. AwSnappity will vouch for that.

And I can vouch for that! She’s always skipping her French classes. 😃
