I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

They implemented the oscar protocol in MSN once too. It didn't go over very well =p

You might be right about that, Joe.

Only worth something to the people who use the MSN client purely. Users on Gaim can have MSN and Yahoo accounts simultaniously, and therefore this is quite pointless. But oh well.

That is why it stated this was to counteract products such as Trillian. :P

I would rather use something that's built by the makers of the network to merge their two chat protocols than a make-shift project someone's made.

Gaim's great, but it's glitchy in my experiences.

So I wonder how the protocol for YIM and MSN will change, and how it will effect programs such as Trillian and Gaim.

If it affects Gaim, I'll tell people from yahoo and MSN to change to AIM if they value talking to me, and stop using YIM and MSN.

I don't really like AIM, but I use it because that's what everyone I know uses.

I use GAIM and  Trillian. I think it's funny when Joe thinks I'm on GAIM and trys to h4x my GAIM encryption key while I'm on Trillian.

Yeah, you probably should stop switching back and forth, seeing as how you're on auto-encrypt..
