During an IM conversation do you READ UP?

Recommended Posts

When you're IMing with someone do you ever take a second and READ UP to see if you missed anything while you were typing away about yourself? I notice a lot of people don't do that and I have to repeat myself a lot. I just wonder if I'm the only one that actually looks back in the conversation to see if the person I'm in the conversation with might have typed something I missed.

I am always "scrolling up" in IM's, Chat, etc. I even do the thing with MSN messenger that logs messages. I'm cursed with an extremly short attention span, as well as short term memory loss.... it runs in my family... I think....

As a leftover from the IRC days, tend to handle scrolling conversations very well. In fact, there has been some contention in the past, as I am very comfortable and efficient in this medium, and sometimes people get flooded. AggieDave and I can IM at light speed. Just part of that generation that grew up when IRC was the underground new thing.

Her handle? What is this, CB radios? "That's a big 10-4, buddy, over." :P

No. If it's important they'll repeat it. Or ask some one else. Or give me a pony.



You don't deserve a pony. You've been bad. Now go jump off a bridge.

in case you didn't see that I said:
