Well, I still think you're sexy. ;) Glad I could give you a good tip on the bots! Barry - That's great that you don't get much IM spam. I hope it stays that way. I know what you mean about restricting IMs. If you give out your Yahoo ID freely, it may not be the best solution. And btw, thanks for the compliment! ;) Mark - Haha! That made me laugh out loud!

I enjoy getting pages from new people who've read my site, so restricting it to only Messenger lists would prevent anyone new from contacting you via IM. I don't get very much IM spam at all, so it's not too much trouble just to close it or Ignore it. In fact, I get more spam in bogus friend invitations to MySpace by these poor, sad, women and their porn sites than I ever had in Yahoo Messenger. But, that all said, the bots were right what they said about you Blogging Gal! Too bad those bots can't appreciate it. ;) <em>Barry's last blog post..<a href='http://lasthome.blogspot.com/2008/01/rex-and-beast-podcast.html' rel="nofollow">Rex and the Beast Podcast</a></em> The only problem with restricting IM’s to only people on your Messenger list, is if you give out your IM name like on your blog or other publicly accessible site.

And here I thought everyone was just being nice and telling me how sexy I look. Sigh. Way to knock down a guy's ego, Tish... And yeah there is an easy "report as spam" link which I've used, but if these are bots, you know that there are literally thousands of user accounts, so clicking that link is good, but not a great solution. I like your second option to ignore anyone not on your list. I'm off to set that right now. Thanks! Y’know, I’ve been getting that exact thing a lot lately too.
