especially.
However please don't use capitals in newsgroups - it sounds like you're
shouting and might scare the lurkers away :o(

LOL sorry but this sort of blatantly dumb behavior can't be pointed out in a
calm enough way
It's like, I'm sitting here, fuming, impatiently waiting and watching if
anyone on the Windows Live Messenger team has noticed how retarded (excuse
my street French) this is, already.. but no - It bravely marches on into
each new build.
I'd post this on the Messenger forums if they weren't so plagued with people
begging for invites.. Thanks Eric!!

Eric #7 Re: NO MORE ATTENTION STEALING - SPECIALLY YOU, MSN MESSENGER
LOL! i totally agree with you. Yes apparantly, MSN is obviously going
backwards in design...
and for the invites.... urghhh! I stand them... it's like a street dreaded
with beggers, and crawls on to you... urghh!
