Skype problem

[Jim Thompson]

I may not be recalling correctly, but it seems earlier versions of
Skype stopped a "non-contact" from inserting themselves onto my
contact list without permission.

Now I'm periodically finding random names in my "contacts" list.

I can't find a setting to prevent this. Am I missing something?

Or is Skype "going-Microsoft" on me :-(

You asked this before, but your retarded filter mindset probably had
the responder filtered.

You ain't real bright, boy.

Those are folks requesting to be added. They are not part of your
list. They are waiting to be on your list, by your invitation.

If you do not invite any of them, they will not be on your list. You
can also block the requests.

Tssssk....
You know Skype has been hacked together by Bill Gates??
All software from that source has been made by the highest standards!!
At least I hope it is......

This is a secret plot of the leftist weenies. Report those names to MI-5
immediately.

VLV

Yes, Sir! Report in progress ;-)

Wrong

You dont have a choice. I get at least one per week. Normally some Eastern
European asking to be my buddy. As far as I can see, you can do nothing
about it. I have tried setting the various options that only allow people on
my contacts list to contact me, but it does nothing.

If you find a solution, let me know

Solution, use something other than skype or complain to them, and
mention that failure to resolve the clear problem may result in a class
action suit.

MI5 is in the UK, Jim needs to report Skype to the NSA, CIA and FBI.
Probably to the Men in Black too !

:-( The earlier version popped up as a _request_, which I could

I have Macro Express running to do various automated tasks... maybe I
can make it "kill-on-sight" (wonder if that would work for NymNoNuts
?

If you tell us that you will kill yourself the moment you see me, I

You're such a fucking wuss.

Very, and believe it or not, I looked to
see if I, myself, was included on it. ;-)))

Can you really be that stupid?

Nothing impressive about a petty search result.

Also he has missed those of my first few years online, so he ain't all
that bright to begin with.

The stupid part about that is... why would anyone even find that
remark funny at all?

Smart guy? 50% chance he does not know what Corbomite is.

Dopey democrat retarded twit like you... 90% chance that you do not
know what it is, or you had to look it up or need to.

The gross solution is to simply turn Skype off. Only open it when you
receive an E-mail from a known respondent requesting a voice session.

I've got nine inches of trash to go up in your wussy boy ass with, BOY!

Nice racist remark (don't argue asshole, yes it is, currently), but as
usual, you are 180 degrees off target, and you are not from Texas. The
pussies from AZ that flood CA every year go past you with their door
open. Most are too retarded to drive a big truck or know what things
like ropes and ties are.

I'm a good teacher though. I can any teach any truck driving retard
some of the metallurgical properties of Lead... with a touch of Copper.
Especially particulars as to how they behave when they are traveling at
high velocities.

You must mean that name. Not quite sure how to explain that to the
congenitally humorless.

Smart guy? 50% chance he does not know what Corbomite is.

Gotta love these delusional wingers! I guess when you base your entire
worldview on ridiculous fantasy, it just tends to leak out all over the
place. =)


90% chance that you do not

know what it is, or you had to look it up or need to.

'Cuz trekkies on Usenet are the pinnacle of human achievement! lol

No profanity, moderate condescension. Maybe i will not kill this nym
immediately. Then again, maybe i will kill it just after this post.

You're a fucking idiot.

I use a universal nym filter ;-)

The latest versions of Skype insert "requests" straight into your
contacts list... not that NymNoNuts would know.

So I just go "off-line" until I get an E-mail request from a known
entity.
