when i opened an e-mail account a year or so ago i chose yahoo because it sounded happy and whimsical...the only other option i knew of, hotmail, sounded like, lewd or something...
when i signed into chat the other night (under the influence of alcohol, admittedly) i was shocked that my yahoo adress appeared on the list of chat-ees! 'cos my e-mail addy is my first and middle name. i don't know how much i even care about anonymity here, it feels safe, all yall seem to be far far away, and what've i got to hide anyway, but--i've got to agree. Yahoo is a bitch.
i don't know much about computers/chatting, but aren't there lots of chatrooms available? i know that at icq you can create your own but then anyone could join in and that would be kind of weird (i imagine pranksters would be drawn to the "psycho-social babble" title--maybe we could name it something completely innocuous and boring, like Lawn Maintenance or Quilting Today or DataClerks Daily?
