I am one those people whose Skype starts on the list of contacts. Mine has always done that even after downloading skype afresh. I am wondering however, could it be that since I've always had a Skype account since Skype came out that nothing had changed? The reason for this is because when Skype was bought by Ebay, they were going to tie it with Face Book but those us who had Skype in the first place would not be affected as Ebay were to put adverts in which wouldn't affect us who had credit ETC.
What do people think of my theory? Kawal.
