So I decided to change my sn. I didn't realize that this would cause so many problems. After discovering that Adium did not have any native support for transfering the buddylist from sn x to y, I used that 3rd party program which exported a buddy list. So I try to add this exported file into the AIM client made by AOL. Instead of adding just my buddies, it adds all of my buddies and random ones from my sister's account. Is there any easier way to do this switch? Can I salvage my new ns without having to delete the unwanted buddies on my list one by one?

Thanks

Wow. Can't you just select them in Adium and delete all of them at once with command+delete?

This is time consuming depending on the number of accounts you have added in to your buddy list, but if you control click on each one and select the 'Accounts' tab, you can manually switch them over to your other screenname without going through the hassle of typing in anything.
