I know proper procedure when IMed by a stranger is to play along, but I was kind of in a bad mood and didn't feel like making the effort. This was an odd conversation, certainly. I imagine he was rather rudely suprised.
Here, the communication came to an abrupt end. I think I see, now, why he was so reluctant to say goodbye.

Snyder (08:35 PM) :
I'm interested to know how you got my ICQ address, since I only made it to talk to a friend of mine and didn't give it to anyone else.

Snyder (08:40 PM) :
I think I just blew up the track I was working on
Snyder (08:41 PM) :

ROY-KO-ROY (08:47 PM) :
do u live in Angola?
ROY-KO-ROY (08:47 PM) :
why don't you speak Portuguese?
Snyder (08:48 PM) :
Probably because I don't live in Angola.
ROY-KO-ROY (08:49 PM) :
??????????????????
Snyder (08:49 PM) :
I don't live in Angola, I live in the United States. This is probably why I do not speak Portuguese.
ROY-KO-ROY (08:50 PM) :
ok
ROY-KO-ROY (08:50 PM) :

ROY-KO-ROY (08:50 PM) :

Yes, I suppose I will. Good bye! Have a nice day!
ROY-KO-ROY (08:51 PM) :

just........
bye bye
Snyder (08:52 PM) :
Well, that's not very nice.
ROY-KO-ROY (08:52 PM) :
why?
Snyder (08:53 PM) :
Well, it implies a sort of general animosity.
Snyder (08:53 PM) :
That you welcome our parting. But if you meant no offense, I shall take none.
ROY-KO-ROY (08:54 PM) :
what is correct then?
Snyder (08:54 PM) :
Both are correct.
Snyder (08:54 PM) :
But saying that it's just bye bye and not good bye means "I don't like you." In a roundabout kind of way.
ROY-KO-ROY (08:55 PM) :
I´Sorry
ROY-KO-ROY (08:55 PM) :

Snyder (08:55 PM) :
Don't worry, it's okay!
