Neither did i when i first entered this group, but i learned the meaning by
looking at _what_ they diddled.

In a few words, diddling is changing a picture someone else made. Usually to
help the artist to make his (or her) picture look better.

Well, diddling is just that. Sort of. "inpikken" is more like stealing as to
where "diddling" is more like helping the artist or adapting a picture.

You're wrong, unless you use a java interface (chat via a webpage).

Instead you could use mIRC or a similar program. Ask anyone from our "old"
newsgroup how to use it if you don't know how.

Ah, you have made it look better still!

See, that's what's diddling is all about. You learn new techniques every time
someone diddles your pic :-)
