Msn Contacts

[Doin]

Twice in the past two weeks someone has added me as an MSN contact without a courtesy email introducing themselves.

Why do people do this?

If they have seen my site then they have seen my email address.

Common courtesy would dictate that you should send that person an email.

I am still intrigued as to who these people are that have added me?
(I don't think they are from Metpage)

It is funny, especially as you don't know who this person is you're accepting. I guess people figure though they can introduce themselves better, or get things organised quicker in a IM than in sending emails back and forth first.

Still a bit rude though you're right

I always just add a person and introduce myself in a private conversation on msn (everybody always accepts the new contact). It sucks though if you get added and the person never speak to you

Haha. Once some dude had added me, so I allowed him too see me. Then I asked:
- Who the hell are you? Where did you get this address?
- dunno...somewhere...*some stupid babble*
- Ok, I don't know you, so I'm gonna block you.
- *more some useless babble*

Then I block the guy.

well imagine back in the old school tradingdays when people could suddenly show up on your door and ask about videos or call you out of nowhere

I am guilty of that. Whether it's someone I've added or someone who has added me. Guess it comes down to not feeling that much like conversations when I'm online, normally after a long day, and maybe a little shy

it happened to me a lot of time, and will still happen for sure in the future, to be added by ppl that after I added them, they will not contact me to speak.
I can't understand this kind of ppl...

If I'm going to add someone is because I need to speak with him directly....if not, it's better to just send an e-mail.

In some cases I was added by a few girls from countries like China or Thailandia and a lot of ppl from Portugal, but I never understood where they found my address

maybe they were touting for business or wanted to be your wife.

"me you fucky fucky"
"me love you long time"

I have 8 people in my contact list within the past week that added me, and haven't said a word to me. I have no idea who any of them are. I have 120 Metallica traders on my list, but I'm sure I only speak to about 20 of them at most.

Im the same way, if Im looking to get in touch with someone, and I have access to their IM names (like on here) Ill just add you and the next time I see you Ill say something. I never concidered it 'rude' to not email or send out a warning that Im adding you. More times than not it'll take a week after I add someone for me to see them due to my schedule out here.
