          whenever I hit up someone I've not spoken to before (or for a while) I'll usually introduce myself and ask how they are.. and wait for a response - I don't want to type an essay and find that that message didn't make it through

          ICQ's a funny thing - I get SO many Turkish and Indian guys trying to 'chat' to me it's unreal - but cos I never know who's who I just accept everyone and then ignore/delete if it turns out they're a surfer or spammer - but I'd not close a window if they just said 'hello' unless I knew for sure that they weren't involved in this industry - ynever know where the next bout of great traffic is gonna come from - so why turn down a potential opportunity if it doesn't hurt you to respond?

              hahah WG you're too funny.

              I don't - normally I add them to my list, say hello back & ask what I can do for them. Since my comp is on 24hrs, 99% of the time it's from a foreign webmaster who has questions before joining but wants to make sure I'm there before they write.

                    I say hello back followed with a "how can I help you". 9 times out of 10 it is a legit webmaster or potential webmaster with a question. And if it isn't, the delete and ignore buttons work great

                      I think just sending a 'hello' is appropriate before telling them your life story, or your plans, ideas, requests, whatever.

                      why? because it helps to determine whether the person you're babbling to is there or not. 'status' doesnt mean sh*t. :2cents

                          A group of us were talking about this once at some show, I think you were there. I answer all of them but Goddamn is it annoying. What really bothers me is when somebody is from a different part of the world, they know we're in different time zones, yet they don't leave a message. We then continue the conversation over the next 3-4 days.

                          Please people, leave a message! I use ICQ as an answering machine, it saves both parties a lot of time.

                              i hate that shit. one of the guys i work with has a bad habit of just saying "Sup?" then disspearing for a half an hour.

                              i get text messages like that all the time too. i don't feel like playing 20 questions to figure out wtf you want. combine two sentences, it's easy. look.

                              "What's up? I had a question about [Insert Topic here]"

                              see, there you go, your greeting, and your reason for contacting me all in on simple little line.

                                I don't reply to just hellos. It's usually a spammer. Announce yourself!

                                    Never. I never intentionally close an ICQ without responding to it first.

                                            I get that on Skype -- either wanting to flirt or practice English. So many and so annoying that I've started ignoring most Skype calls. Unless I know you and know you're calling, I think you should do a text chat intro before you do voice. Maybe I'm picky.

                                                  wasn't that what i said to you the first time we talked?

                                                    When you get a phone call, don't you respond "hello?"

                                                    That is how I would initiate an ICQ conversation, just making sure someone is there.

                                                    Of course, you have to be authorized to contact me, so I get zero spam . . . except from people already authorized
