When using AOL instant messenger AOL peoples screen name is the same as the
first part of there e-mail address. They can get your E-mail address this
way if you use it to chat. I think this is the source of a lot of spam. I
don't know much about the other chat rooms. What little I have been in them
I didn't like. I never gave my e-mail address. I made up different
screennames.
Our Iris chat on Fridays is a different story. We talk about different
things, even Iris. No bad language is allowed, or bad manners either.
