Finally got Skype to stop quoting my conversations

For many years i used MSN Messenger for instant messages. And with it i have tried alot of the alternative programs that connected with the MSN protocol, like Kopete, Pidgin and aMSN. Microsofts client was always full of ads and banners and retarded popup's. Along with unwanted features like nudges that made the whole screen vibrate and was particulary annoying if you had friends running any of the competing clients that had a reduced nudge-delay allowing them to spam your computer with shaky windows and twelve dosin doorbells going off.

All the competing clients worked well, had added functionality and no ads. But none of them ever got the emoticons right And while that's not a big deal for me now, it was very important when i was 13 and ended every line with a corresponding facial expression. Kopete had such bad smileys for a while that i got unsure about my friends actual attitude in the conversation. Like, "is he really smiling, or is that sarcasm. Shit that smiley lookin like John fuckin waterhead Kerry".

Microsoft then introduced Windows Live Messenger. A great example of shitty software.
First off all, the program it self was just a rebranded MSN Messenger. No added/fixed nothing.
New commercials now using Flash instead of gifs providing another 50mb of wasted RAM.
The installer was a new Windows Live installer. Wich was a great improvement. This way you would get 5 pieces of rubbish with every install, and shitty toolbars and bookmarks with your shitty Messenger.
The new installer also featured the ability to waste upward of 10 minutes on the install process, even with quad core computers. The installer also managed to rise to a size just shy of 120mb. Amazing, simply amazing.

I quote some random dude:

"Anyway, went to install this Windows Live messenger thing on there and it took absolutely AGES to install, and by the way I mean ages, nearly half an hour in fact it was so slow"

To compare, the latest version of pidgin is 9.1mb, supports 14 other protocols and installs in about the same time is takes to sneeze.

So as a last "fuck you" from Microsoft they terminated the entire Live Messenger and bought Skype as a replacement so they could ruin that as well.

Now i never really used Skype in the past, but i do now, and yes. It does kinda suck.

But now to the point of all this:
As i frequently discuss code with people on Skype i have been really annoyed by Skype's shitty attitude towards me copying text from my messages. Skype obviously thinks im a real journalist, and not just a dipshit blogger, and therefore types up the text as a quote like: "08:30 Sunday: Dick says: #1c3923 " when im really only after the color green.
I have been going on rants about this for weeks, thoroughly giving this software the finger, but then...
Turns out, it is possible to change this

Fuck i feel stupid.
