b_h_l : It is nice that MSN has updated their chat rooms and forgot my f'n username. I had to download the new software and it will not give me BHL as a username anymore. Bastards!
mighty_ducks_of_anaheim : yeah it's pretty screwed up
mighty_ducks_of_anaheim : if i ever change names, i don't think i'll ever be able to change it back

mighty_ducks_of_anaheim : this is the first time i ever used msn chat
b_h_l : Carolina and Ottawa. Should they be able to share the same computer?
mighty_ducks_of_anaheim : I don't know it's a tough one
mighty_ducks_of_anaheim : if they're are telling the truth then it would be bad
b_h_l : I think one is doing the business for both of them.
b_h_l : They have done trades that out number the entire BHL by 3 to 1
mighty_ducks_of_anaheim : are they one sided?
b_h_l : It just worries me to see the same e-mails from both teams, specially when they are trading 8 players at a time
b_h_l : I really dont know because I havet had time to look into the players that are being swapped back and fourth.
mighty_ducks_of_anaheim : From what i remembered i don't think it was uneven
mighty_ducks_of_anaheim : do you use icq?
b_h_l : I sent them a mail and I hope that they dont end up trading without the other knowing it.
b_h_l : Usually there are more atendees but my delay on getting this room created must of discouraged them.
mighty_ducks_of_anaheim : yeah, i read it, it seemed well-written
b_h_l : Maybe they are doing the same thing I had to go through.
mighty_ducks_of_anaheim : using your friends internet?
b_h_l : No, my problems logging on to MSN Chat
mighty_ducks_of_anaheim : yeah, i had a lot of trouble, it kept disconnecting me
