I use ICQ too, but if you put it on “invisible” and only make yourself visible to people that you actually want to talk to, there’s almost no bullshit coming in anymore. Sure, there’s the occasional spam URL. But then I just click “Ignore all future messages”. Works like a charm. ---

Coldfire: it doesn’t work like that for all of us. I generally have 20-25 new people’s messages piled up when I log on, and that is all from when I wasn’t there. Plus, then I wouldn’t have things like this coming in: Peter 4/8/00 9:41 PM do you now rich OpalCat 4/8/00 9:42 PM huh? Peter 4/8/00 9:42 PM he sit next to me @ OpalCat 4/8/00 9:42 PM who does Peter 4/8/00 9:42 PM do you understand Peter 4/8/00 9:43 PM we live together and we can make it nice for you if you like OpalCat 4/8/00 9:43 PM what do you mean?

OK, I understand that. But couldn’t you just hit “Ignore all incoming events from this user” once the first message comes in? It seems like you’re putting a lot of effort to waste with responding to these losers, whereas you can put them on your shitlist straightaway. ---

It literaly would translate into “cancerwoman”, but it appears that the one using the insult wasn’t much of a scholar 😉 Incidently, should anyone have the need to learn some really creative insults in the beautiful Language that Dutch is, I would be more than happy to help them out 😃 * * * **Defect borg: _“Refutile is sistance.
