Something really weird and disturbing happened tonight: it looks like a chat got hijacked. Two people were chatting in open chat, and suddenly someone entered this chat. Take a look, the text in capital letters was *not* written by person BBB (but it showed up in normal chat color, not object color):

*.*.*
[21:24] AAA: Apple has done it both ways
[21:24] AAA: If they were smart, they'd have it ready
[21:25] BBB: DONT GIVE ME THAT ATTITUDE,I GOT ONE OF MY OWN!
[21:25] BBB: what I really want to know is, will you be able to use it with NEENER NEENER NEENER 3g
[21:25] BBB: what, I din't type that
[21:25] BBB: hmmm
[21:25] AAA: ROFL
[21:25] AAA: Am I to believe Kenneth can type now?
*.*.*
(Kenneth is a dog)

Has someone encountered something like that before?

I have a wireless keyboard for when I run my computer out to the living room TV as a monitor. If I were any less intelligent, I would be asking for trouble by leaving it out there while I use my regular office keyboard. USB and Bluetooth can really muck things up that way. You could potentially have 256 or more keyboards hooked up to one system. (^_^)y

that is what I was thinking, I know the attitude remark is a gesture for sure, maybe hit a trigger function key

Seconded.. If it was someone playing with a mimic attachment, the text woulda been green and have it's own line.

I suppose it's too much to hope that Viewer 2.0 will put Gestures in the proper place in the menu tree:

Advanced / Debug / Abnormal / Misfeatures / Defective / Gestures

Hm yes, that actually makes lots of sense. I'll let AAA and BBB know, thank you :-)
