O.P. Shocked  Dangerous quick-text exploit
If one were to have 1000 lines of code that all executed another text, which executed a different 1000 times, that sent 4999 (this is by code I wrote, but I didn't realise it's potential untill after my msn froze from attempting to send it. one more charactor and it'ed hit 5000 (I'm using a parameter as an emoticon).)
emoticons, to a test server, it could hamper the network a small amount. do this on three to four pc's pointing at different servers, it would cause a lapse in the server it routes through. Do this with a few hundred towards different countries one at a time and it would a huge lapse in the msn network.

8-| Man I'm a nerd. Remove the ability to execute a quicktext from a quicktext to fix this.
