ICQ Etiquette....EVERYONE INSIDE NOW!

OK, since I started putting myself out there and working for lots more people I have been slammed with icq's, and one of the things that irritates me to no end is when someone I don't know and have no clue who they are icq's me and says "hey" and that is it

wtf!...when you don't know someone and they don't know you, don't you think it would be best to introduce yourself first? are these the same type of people you have never met that walk up to you at a party and stand in front of you and say "hey" and wait for you to respond?

here is a great one, just happened a minute ago

[06:01] NAMEHERE: you need any web work done?
[06:01] Jace: excuse me?
[06:01] Jace: do I know you?
[06:02] NAMEHERE: do you have to know me to answer a question like that? :-D
[06:03] NAMEHERE: :-\
[06:03] Jace: web work is a very general term, and yes, lots of scammers in this biz, unless I know you I am not gunna even think about working with you.....plus, mught wanna try some better intial icq etiquette when initializing conversations with people you don't know
