yeah, that sounds very bizarre to me Mark, that a third party could be
adding you to other people's IM contacts as, they are being added to your
list!  I've noticed several have their msn messenger contacts as their
signitures on several lists.
I suppose it isn't that strange when, it seems, our e-mail addresses, from
our e-mail headers can be stolen and used to subscribe some of us to all
sorts of yahoo groups.

I suppose it makes for interesting instant messaging of an evening? <grin>.
