Has anyone been getting alotta requests for you to add them to your msngr ?  
I have been getting at least 2 a day from people i dont know .   I have never 
even gotten 1 before, and i have had msngr for years.  Jonathan is there some 
kind of list of windows live addys going around ? or somewhere people have 
access to list of msgr addys ? 

Thanks

Greetings Susie,

No list I've ever seen...  However, you'd be surprised how often people can add
you 
accidently (typos, ignoring underscores, whatever).  I have one account where
people add me 
all the time, most likely due to its simplicity.   I have yet another account
where I get 
weird forwards from some person I don't even know (and yes, they're legitimate
messages).

It's a bit like a wrong number, it just happens.

Hi

I've been getting these annoying emails too.
About 3 to 5 a week at present.  From total strangers.
Just keep blocking them.

Cheers

Martin
