when i first started the friday nites Lightfoot chat room all those years ago, the only other one going was on aol. at that time, if you werent on aol then you were excluded. there was no way i was gonna settle on aol since its simplistic approach to things at the time wasnt real acceptable to a geek like me.
the first thing i had to learn, and learn fast was how to kick, boot and ban folks from the room. i found some rather inventive scripts for doing so, some so nasty i was too nervous to try. John and i, and later laurie and others from the old group learned how to quickly figure out if folks were scammers or not.
in all it was good fun, and a good learning experience. not only did it make us bond better against the crackheads out there but we found ourselves wishing one would crash us so we could jeer then boot them out...
