Old habits

To this day when I see two friends log out of IM at the same moment, my first thought is "Oh shit, they're alts?!"

Heh, I *always* make sure never to sign off my alts simultaneously for that very reason. I know how to be sneaky. It's difficult to keep the idle times different though. Fortunately, real me doesn't go idle. :)

Everyone knows how to run alts correctly, but computer crashes and network drops still happen...

But they shouldn't both be online at once...

Wait how was it that you got both on your buddy list anyway?

Ohmigod I haven't heard the noun "alt" in years. Doesn't that just take me back. (To a place I'd rather not go.)

Are "alts" some kind of IRC or MUD thing?

You kids and your internets...
