This is bullshit

[spatch]

Multiply that by six and that's how many pleasant little messages I got, all with the same text, while I was out today.

There's gotta be some way I can filter these out on Trillian, but I don't see the "DON'T LET PEOPLE BOTHER ME AT RANDOM" option without blocking everybody except people already on my buddy list, and I seem to get a few friends on random occasion who show up and say hi and I didn't know their names until just then, and I don't want to turn them away, and...

I've never wanted to just reach out and smack the bejeezus out of someone over TCP/IP like I'm wanting to do today.

Blocking people?

[(Anonymous)]

How about you block everyone on your list, but put as your autoresponse that if they don't think they should be blocked, to send you an e-mail at __________. Then you add 'em to your list if you know 'em.

Blocked people don't get an autoresponse, they just think you're not online; you wouldn't appear on their buddy list, and any IM they send would come back saying you weren't there.

The other thing is that I don't wanna give 'em my email address to boot. I already get enough messages a day on my spamtrap.
