MSN Contacts - Page 2

I'm a meanie when it comes to MSN - if I don't recognise the person adding me then I block them. I suppose I could wait and see if they're actually going to talk before doing it though...

Exactly the same here.

I've just got the msn live one and its not too bad - its finally got the idea from yahoo that sometimes people want to be invisible but that they might want to talk to people. As that was the main reason I used yahoo over msn, I might start trying to remember to load it up more often

I generally accept people to start with - I can alwasy block them later if I feel the need

Since I removed my MSN address from a certain other forum the random adds have stopped which is nice.

Unlike some people I don't want a huge contact list - I only want people on there that I'll actually talk to.

If it looks like a genuine address rather than a bot generated one I'll at least give someone a chance to tell me who they are as I often don't recognise people just from their MSN address. In fact I've hardly got anyone on my block list, I think most of my 'blockees' are the same person who insisted on annoying me for a time.

I'm usually signed into MSN and quite happy to talk to people but I'm not one to initiate a conversation so I very rarely find myself actually using it.

Same. It comes through using MSN at work - I have most of my workmates on there.

Same again, well, when I (a) remember to start it, and (b) am not in a meeting or some other important discussion at work.

I find some people don't add me because my hotmail address is rather random. I mean, would you add monkeyinabra@hotmail.com?! It all becomes obvious who I am once I'm added though since I always keep 'Belmit' in my sign-in name. So, if anyone wants to add me, or gets that address asking to add them, it's just me!

I bugs me when the person sign-in name always changes or has nothing that is recognisable!

I've currenty got a few people online that I have to check the email of just to work out who they are! Some I still don't recognise until I see the pic - although it's usually at that point I delete them!

I'm happy for anyone here to add me though

Sadly I'm always online if I'm at a PC and I need people to talk to while at work!

Likeiwse, I just keep mine as 'Chris'. Anything else goes in the little message bit underneath. Thankfully with Live messenger, I can change nicknames so I know who's who.

My e-mail has my name in it and my nickname is my name... Tends to make things easier as most people who I talk to on MSN call my Dym rather than Rich anyway... In fact, I don't think any of you guys have called me Rich ever
