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)
