Well, they are out in full force today. The random IM’ers.
I have a new favourite exchange to make me scratch my head:
Me: So, may I ask how you came across my username
Mrn: yeah
five minutes elapsed
Me: Okay.. you got me. Since you said, “Yeah” I’ll ask. How did you come across my username on Yahoo?
Mrn: yes
Me: sigh
They then Buzzed me so I blocked them. This was then followed by multiple requests to add me to their buddy list.
As a result, the page has been extended again. New rules, new comments.

90% of the random IMs for me come from Indian compsci students asking me to help them with their homework, usually in the form “Hai, this is Kumar. I have a doubt about [ insert algorithm or programming topic here ] and have to finish my project. Can u send me the codes plzzzzzzzzzzzz. It’s very urgent!”
Remind me some day to tell you about my “fan club”. Thanks to what appeared to be random IM’s, my conversational Spanish skills grew by leaps and bounds.
