Block-Checker: Causing headaches in IM land...

You may or may not have seen Block-Checker, but it supposedly tells you who has you on their block list for IM tools such as MSN Messenger, AIM etc. I can't comment how effective this is, but I can tell you that it has a rather annoying feature...every so often, it pumps out the below to your chosen chat-buddy:

Hey you can see who's blocking you on AIM! Download it now http://www.block-checker.com

Well thanks! End result? People blocking their buddies, simply because they're getting messages spammed at them by a tool designed to show you who's blocking them in the first place.

Genius. And of course, the answer to your Block-Checker woes? Jay Loden's custom built tool for just such an occasion. If you're at the end of your tether, it may be worth a go. As for Blocky the block-guy (possibly the worst product character I've ever had the misfortune to witness...it must have taken, what, all of ten seconds in MSPaint?) I'm sure we haven't seen the last of him.

Unfortunately.
