Every so often, I get IMed or added as an IM buddy by completely random people who are not spammers. Usually, they're friends of my clueless 12yo cousin who gave my ID to all of her clueless friends. That makes me expect Romanians, so I greet them in Romanian and try to be understanding. Turned out this time, a different kind of confused user came my way.
(11:10:08) rosli lee has added you as a friend.
(11:10:08) me: salut
(11:10:16) rosli lee: salut what
(11:10:33) me: How did you find my ID?
(11:10:52) rosli lee: whos is this
[What I can never seem to figure out is this: For the love of making any sense, how in the world, after getting someone's IM, you message them, then ask "who is this" ?!]

[After 40 minutes with no reply, I guess they perished in the explosion]
