I'm after YOU
Nov. 3rd, 2003 08:06 pmThat's right, YOU[4]. Allow me to explain. As you know, my buddy list has recently gone over the 200 limit, with the result that I have started using Tavgfrg as well in the case that I want to add any more.
Admittedly I've always gone a little crazy when it comes to adding people to my buddy list, which, after all, is why this happened in the first place. But now I'm over 200. That means I've got nearly another 200 before I hit 400 and have to use a 3rd account, at which point things are just getting plain ridiculous.
Now, I used to have bizarre criteria, which not even I myself understood, as to who was on and who was off the buddy list. But they were really kind of arbitrary. I didn't want to add just anybody, but on the one hand, I added people that I would probably block immediately if they ever messaged me, or people I didn't even know, while on the other hand, I had left off several friends of mine. Where's the sense in that? But now a psychological barrier has been broken. There are no more restrictions. I see a screen name, I add it. Just yesterday I went through the entire PROMYS contact list, adding every screen name there. And today I spent some time hunting down some names that I knew I had seen before but hadn't added and couldn't remember, although I didn't find them. Admittedly *the* most ridiculous of cases still won't be on the list - a chatbot which I never use, some programmer who has given away his contact information in his program's documentation[3] - but as for everyone else: I'm after your screenname. And I *will* find it eventually.
<EG>
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
OK, so that was kind of unnecessary. :)

[3]Actually, that's not quite true. Instances of both of these are actually on my buddy list right now, and I'm not going to remove them, because unless a screenname is verified to be wrong, I won't remove it. But I won't add any more of these. Really.
[4]Well, probably not YOU, if you're reading this; I think I already know the screennames of most or possibly all of those people who actually read this.
