Just remember that clients like Trillian, (and probably others like jabber based clients, etc) and most importantly, some ad banner disabled ICQ clients, DO NOT REQUEST PERMISSION before adding to contacts..

So, you could, like quite a few people I have tried to initiate ICQ contact with, be filtering out a potential customer or what have you with the default ICQ spam controls.

Just be aware. The most pathetic case I have seen was when a sponsor I know had online tech support guys, and they had their spam settings set this way, so they never got a single message - all because they couldn't be bothered to see ICQ spam.

Cheers,
Backov
