Default MSN Privacy LOL what else is new
I had my suspicions all along that, that's what was going on... Seemed funny that my buddy list would show up on some web pages... I figured it was a plug-in but was surprised that I couldn't find it when I looked at my installed active x and browser plug-in’s VIA Norton clean sweep.... I like privacy but in this day and age, I think it’s about as impossible as finding the final equation to Pie... LOL yes I am another cynic…

Yeah when i first went to that site i have poasted about, i did wounder why it was showing my on line contacts but that was about a mounth ago.

cant wate to here what mr Geeks has to say about it all
he will proberly say " dont wory we have a new O/s that will fix that problem " lolol

i could understand if that messenger site was a .NET site
and had my buddys shown on it,
