When I opened my AIM this morning, the AIM Today window was blank, white with a simple "yo, FABIAN!" displayed...a reference to Saddam's battle plan, which has been described as "Fabian" by the talking heads (i.e., sucker your enemy in, then surround and destroy him, AND yourself at the same time).

I'm glad I don't have it, but thanks for the FYI. It could be any IM service.

It probably originated from Westchester; gee I think from Hilary's block :o But really not a laughing matter. Sad if it's one of our own, and it could well be.

I use Trillian too, but don't use AIM on it. Everyone I know uses msn or icq -- more secure.
