    Default Have you ever been talking to someone online and not known who they were?

    I didn't know that the person I was talking to on IRC was Baloki, and I didn't know that PiP from my LJ was Midnight Toker. I wish people would stick to one screen name, like me

    People from the forums like to IM me on AIM and the first thing I always do is I do "Hi! Who are you?"

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I used to get it quite a bit back when Instant Messangers were in vogue. These days though there only seems to be two states to your average IMer - Offline or Idle.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Almost anyone you ever talk to. I don't know who any of you are!

    I guess you mean on messenger or something, though. But even then. You make friends with strangers. And then... they're not strangers.

    I don't go by my forum name on #eoff because girls kept chatting me up thinking I was a boy

    Me too. And on the rare times that I do get on MSN, I get ssked who I am even when they are the ones that have added me in the first place.

    This happens to me on occasion.

    I don't know or don't remember a good 50% of my AIM buddy list.

    I only add people I know, although it's been so long since I've chatted with some people on my buddy list that I can't remember who they all are.

    People add me to their MSN list, say nothing for the first month, and then ask me who I am. I have to list all of the places that have my email address. The worst is when they don't remember where they found my email in the first place.

    No, wait, the worst was the time I asked someone who they were after two months on my list without talking to me once, and he set his status to busy. Right after that, I did the same thing with someone else in the same situation, and he set his status to busy, too. I think they were the same person. I deleted and blocked them both. Tools.

    Yeah, that sort of thing happens quite often. Every time somebody I don't immediately recognise adds me on MSN I utter a little sigh of despair, in anticipation of the "hey who are u?" conversation that is imminent.

    Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I were as great as Paulo Wanchope.
