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?

[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
