I had a friend do that while I was in the middle of a video chat with a
buxom middle-aged lady. I popped to the loo (my darling) and when I came
back she was rather stand-offish, and suddenly not at all interested in
friendly banter any more. It was only later after my mate had gone that
I looked back in the transcript and discovered he'd been making lewd
suggestions under my username. Bastard.

I'd be interested to hear if you managed to repair the situation with said
bm-al. And if it was a *video* chat, how come she didn't recognize that the
person now sending her the lewd suggestions was not you? Or is your mate
also your spitting image? Inquiring minds and all that...

No.

It was using iSpQ, which isn't so much video as a new still each time
you send a message. You click a button when the camera is showing you at
your most flattering, and that image is sent when you hit send. So the
image can be several minutes old before the message is sent. My image,
his text.

 > Inquiring minds and all that...

No, it was a good question. I'd forgotten that with the advancement in
both bandwidth and cameras that video chat is a lot more interactive
these days.
