Yeah!!! I downloaded ICQ I am number 76711439 I can chat with other dopers away form the Message board.
Rats 
I am about as smart as a typical crack addict at getting it to work.
Sigh.

Hey Osip, don’t be sad, you found me at least!
Ok my turn to hide… er. Any other dopers out there with ICQ want to chat or tell me if there is a chat room you all hang out? Oh and how do I get there if there is such a magical place?
