Default MSN Contacts

Ok, i helped a guy the other day with his computer, and in the process i was getting messages from his msn contacts (i was on his pc) then when logging out of his msn, i discovered he had over 100 contacts! :

I'm not fond of a massive list of contacts, but i have about 20 on mine... what does anyone else have? or what is the most you've seen on someones contacts. I'm sure there are some on here with a large list... dont be shy!

Ive got 12 and many others I've got rid of. A lot of my friends have 100+. I don't really see the point as imagine if a lot of them were online and all wanted to talk. A little hard to concentrate.

I also use it all day at work and that 150 includes at least 12 work contacts.

I deleted about half of mine last month, about 95 contacts at the moment.
If you have less then 70, I consider you soft.

101 contacts.

When I get to 150... I usually get a new email address for MSN. Old ones tend to be filled with too much crap.

Yeah, I don't many as I really don't talk to people much.

But for the anti MSN people, I use Gaim. Its a freeware program that connects to MSN, ICQ, AIM, Yahoo and IRC and is really customisable. Like trillian, only less buggy and completely free!

I used to have 11 differnt hotmail address' all filled with 150...Each time one filled up I made a new one....Thats because I was going into chat rooms all the time though...Now I only talk cars with people I know (not ИИИИ with people I dont know ;) ) so mines got like 50 people or less nowadays.
