this has been reposted to high heaven for how small of an issue it is

Man, there was a point where ICQ was a big reason to even have an internet connection.

It's been essentially dead for a while though, so I get where you're coming from. But it helps to realize that not everyone here news at the same time. Since lemmy is harder to search than reddit was (and reddit sucked at that), I just expect a given piece of news to be repeated for a few days.
