Tim Thein, I can relate to that. A receint attempt to view a contact card
of a member I subscribed to a mutual spaces.live.com actually offered
reference to my documents under their name to display. Then, when attempting
to check it out on my space, it was there too. Can not figure how that
happened. Otherwise, things about Messenger have been alright as long as it
has independent connection. The worst indeed, was finding my personal
documents posted on someone elses contact card. I will post again about this
soon, doing some research first

Thanks for the post.

Sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about, so I'm not sure what
you said has anything to do with the current subject matter.
