| 2. I kept getting stuff like that from a friend's ID.... |

Haven't for years, ever since the discovery of certain 'red programs' that can be used to set up a hot connect between your PC and theirs via an IM.
It's sad that you can't just meet people online now the way we did only several years ago. :(
