So what you're saying is that we need a remote-plonk mechanism to insert oneself into another person's killfile (merely entertaining this thought makes me a loathsome Bolshie, I'm sure).
Yup. On both counts. :-). Seriously, in IM, like AIM, for instance, you can do that kind of thing already. Well, you can not appear on someone's buddy list as logged on, anyway, but you get the same result, since it's P2P, and they can't talk to you if they can't see you. As for getting into someone's killfile on purpose, I leave that as an exercise for the reader. As a famous commie utopian sang once "it's easy if you try..." Of course, if you "Imagine" in one hand, and shit in the other, it's easy to see what you have more of... Cheers, RAH -- ----------------- R. A.
