Why ICQ?

Messenger probably doesn't get used often because people can change their display names.

Reminds me of the time at work when two buddies of mine were talking about their manager, comparing him to Flanders from the Simpsons. Then someone signed on one buddy's list with this particular manager's Microsoft v-dash ID. He assumed the guy he was bashing the manager with had just changed his name to the manager's v-dash for fun. So he sent this contact a nice little message with the words 'Fuck you Flanders' (The manager reminded us of Flanders). It was actually his manager. And he wasn't impressed. The manager printed off the screen to use against him. Last I heard my friend had that screenshot ready to frame. Nothing ever came of it. But the legend remains.
