I recall this happened to me, so I found a dotfile with ls -al and this
dotfile was for gtkicq; It was not *my* ICQ number but that of another person.
I removed this record and restarted gtkicq, at which time I was prompted for
my own information.
I gave my e-mail address when I registered and I got no junk mail. You can
remove it after you register, if you wish. I have gotten spams from some
of the lists to which I subscribe, but not from ICQ.
