[12:05] Lord Schezar: I read about this, you've got your AIM account name on your LJ account or whatever, a computer picks that up and does this at random, it's a program someone made as a prank
[12:09] Lord Schezar: "Salmoned

An internet phenomena where a computer links two people over IM - and gives each user false

It's similar to a three way call using AIM. Imagine someone mutes his own phone and then calls you. Then he calls someone else. Now you're talking to a stranger. Your phone rang and so did theirs. You think he called you and vice versa. Neither of you realize there's a third person instigating all this. This is basically the same thing, but with AIM. "
[12:09] Lord Schezar: from that link
[12:09] Lord Schezar: I'll leave you alone if you want, just wanted to make sure you knew what happened in case it happened again
