So, recently, I took off the restriction on Trillian that blocks all messages from people not on my buddy list. I figured that perhaps it wasn’t such a bad idea and since I haven’t been thus far inundated with spam, so far, so good, right?

Since then, I’ve had two people message me that I did not recognize. It seemed likely that the first was a brief conversation that happened years ago. The name seemed familiar, and after a little digging, I found out who it was. I haven’t heard from that person since. Go figure.

Today, I get contacted by “SpeedRaceXR,” inciting this exchange (pulled from the trillian log):

[17:51] SpeedRaceXR:  yea i might, it stoppd raining

Now, is it just me, or is SpeedRaceXR a total jackoff? Sure, I didn’t exactly respond in a “normal” fashion, but, what, is he simply too busy to waste his time on people he doesn’t know?

Given that I didn’t recognize him at all, he probably added me to his buddy list ages ago and and has since forgotten why. Setting aside why anybody would deign to speak with me, this guy is just a crackhead.

A google search doesn’t turn up much on him, either. Oh well, nothing to worry about, time to move on.
