New rule.

Since MSN is being a bitch and won't let me see people's profiles on their site without me being signed in (and why the hell it won't sign me in automatically from the IM program), we're gonna do this differently.

If you want to add me to MSN, or better yet, any of my IM buddy lists, you're gonna note me first. You're gonna wait for me to say "yes". Then you can send me an invitation or whatever they're calling it. If you attempt to send me one without sending a note or waiting for confirmation, I'm gonna assume you're a spam bot, and I won't investigate.

Sorry, but this is how it is. I'm not even gonna try to work with M$ customer support. I tried to reset my password, but apparently it didn't work. I hate that.

So, yeah. There you go. Now pardon me while I go affix their logo to something soft and punchable.
