Ok I signed onto MSN Messenger the other day, and got a popup that someone new had added me to their contact list, did I want them to be able to see me online, etc etc yada yada yada. I had no idea who this was, didnt recognize the email address or anything. I figured what the heck, I’ll add them, find out who this is.
Being curious who this would be, I used my hotmail email (which I never use for personal email) to email this person asking who they were, how they knew me. He sent back an email saying that he had gotten the notice that I had added him, so he had added me to HIS list.
So somewhere someone’s confused (and I KNOW I didnt add him first, since I’d never seen the address before and the name wasn’t familiar). Anyone have any idea what’s goin on?

September 6, 2003 at 5:56 pm #90867TigerbladeParticipantwhat?? that makes no sense. i said i got a notice from MSN Messenger that said he’d added me to his list, so i said ok fine i’ll add him. but out of curiosity i asked him who he was, and he said he’d gotten the same notice i had. meaning someone’s confused. i didnt send him an email until after he’d added me, so… like i said i dont use my hotmail account for anything except having messenger.
September 7, 2003 at 5:37 pm #90869BDoGGMemberIt’s happened to me b4 aswell. I got no idea how and why it does it. But it doesnt happen to me anymore, ever since I got msn 5 and up.
September 7, 2003 at 8:51 pm #90868PlatinumMemberHey there!!! it’s happened to me a couple of times!! I signed in once and this guy had added me, so i accepted and then sent an IM asking who he was, he said that it had came on his computer that I had added him and that infact he wanted to know who i was!! Of course, i actually took a tizzy thinking he was someone winding me up, because i didnt think this could actually happen, so say, he never added me and i definatly never added me, then how did we both end up on each others lists? MSN’s gone nuts!

(i don’t really know how that is). i’m not sure if its like a constantly happening error. maybe teh error keeps happening and every once in a blue moon it errors your hotmail account and match you with another person. anyhow thats waht i read. its the closest thing i could find
