coan.net: I understand what you etal are saying... , but to use the option of totally removing the message box is totally rude and uncalled for, IMO!

The above link is a great firefox extension that will take care of the problem for most people. who like me and BBW, dont have access to our key boards for one reason or another..... dont let the name fool you, I put in a few different greetings, for example good luck, or congrats great game, I even paste in greetings in different languages, then they are all just one click away from being pasted into any message box!!!!

(the only problem I have is that when I say hello to someone in their native language, I end up having to try and explain that i dont really speak their language!)

Anyway, instead of taking advantage of this "new" option to remove chat options, try this extension instead, like doolittle says, its only a common courtesy!
