I'm not sure if anyone else out there has a yahoo email account (it's so 1999) but I do, in fact I have several email accounts with different providers for various reasons. There's the one I use as more of a junk account if I have to give an email address for a lame contest or to sign up for something. I have another one that I've been using for many many years to keep in touch with friends. I also signed up a few years ago for a 3rd account with yet another provider just for the hell of it.

There's a point to all of this I swear....or a question at least. A few weeks ago I signed in to my yahoo account and received a message about so and so wanting to add me to their yahoo chat....huh??? Now the 1st two people to "add" me were friends of mine so that was fine (although I'm less than interested in using this chat option so I declined) however every day since then I get these bizarre people wanting me to add them to my chat list. I'm finding these messages rather annoying because A) I'm not interested in chatting with my friends on this let alone perfect strangers and B) the messages pop up every single time I log in.

I already have MSN and google chat to name a few, I don't need a 3rd place to talk to people. How the fuck did blandervonhorowitz get my email address anyway?? Is this happening to anyone else ( or do you have sophisticated accounts that wouldn't allow such filth)? Can I turn this chat option off?? It just POOF popped up one day and the messages began completely out of my control and they are driving me bonkers. It's creepy enough that people know when I'm checking certain accounts.....now this one too....grrrrr.
