Contact 6 months after a wink?

Hmmm...I posted this earlier, but now it's gone...so here goes again...

When I was online this morning, I got a popup asking for my permission to add someone as a chat friend on Yahoo IM. I didn't recognize the name, and I'm very wary about adding people if I don't know who they are (b/c of a guy that started harrassing me thru IM in the fall).

Well, my curiosity got the better of me, so I allowed it, and sent an IM asking who it was. It turns out that it was a guy that I had sent an e-mail to 6 months ago when I was on Yahoo Personals (and I haven't been back since, choosing instead to focus on my match.com membership). He said that he hadn't been on since then, kind of gave up on it, but then just logged in again, and saw my message, and wondered if I still wanted to chat.

So, is this something that's normal with OLD? Something is just sticking out to me, but maybe I'm just finding problems where none actually exist...

What do you think?
