Not hard really ;D The only hard part is finding me time to do so!!!! I've got a lot of other privacy related issues I need to work on too. I don't know if you know this, but PyICQ sends your web presence out unless you disable it. That is a key target for getting you spammed I found, so you might want to disable that! (it's an option in the latest release)
