this was hilarious - I didn't know so many people DIDN'T know you could do that - I can say that when I got bored I sure know who lives in pm's and who is actually posting...hehe.....It was just something to do when the boards got slow -
I used to spy on my youngest son on AOL all the time - I even got in the same chats he was in in cognito to see if he really had the moves he claims to have.....I got some GREAT laughs and even posted to him a few times !
I just told him about me doing that last year and he about turned purple....problem was - he never said anything incriminating...I told him he needed to jazz up his online chats next time I'm in there ...it was kind of boring .....like..."hey...are you cute...got a pic" ? over and over and over !
