ya know one really has to wonder about a company as incompetent as msn/outstart.com/participate systems, when one enters a chatroom to see three msn bots and two pornobots parked in a chatroom.
in this screen shot from 8:28 am est monday 19 december 2005, we see the msn chatroom afterhours7 the only "chatters" in there are the two pornobots Holly_Ansen and Kute_N_Kuddlee1.
conclusion: at msn/outstart.com/participate systems incompetence and ineffectivness are the rule and not the exception.
