Clinton,

Thanks for the clarification. I stay invisible on ICQ, only allow a very few people to see when I am on, never more that 1 or 2 at a time and I still get the garbage stuff. It is irritating to say the least and I usually respond with "Get a life" or something much more graphic then I block them. It's not as bad now that I learned to stay invisible but they still come on an average of once a week. Since I am never seen on~line I consider that spamming but I guess that's okay with ICQ. There are draw backs to every program I have used but Mudcat has the best set~up I have run across yet. BTY, I block all on MSN unless I want to talk to one of them; I stay invisible on Yahoo IM; and I refuse to use AOL. I guess I'm a bit of an hermit at heart. I do love this place and the Pal Talk music rooms but a general chat with total strangers will have me sitting off to the side just watching what goes on.

Anyway, thanks again for the clarification.

Just got through a 2 hour de~frag session and wonder why I ever got this darn thing at the moment.
