Nope, sorry, there are new programs that spammers use to automatically find IM screen names on boards like these (regardless of whether or not you have AOL email) and then while you are IM-ing to a friend spam IMs start appearing.
It's quite annoying.
If you all post them here with extra characters like an @ between each letter (then remove the @s before you add them to your addressbook) the AIMbot will dump them as unusable and you hopefully wont get AIM spam.
