@...dieAntagonista: That’s why I have changed Live Messenger to change my status to away after 30 minutes, not 10 as standard. I don’t have many friends on it, so it can easily go 10 mins without being used. But 30 minutes? Then I’m usually gone. Or I just set it as away the whole day, if people want to chat they’ll just check if I’m here.

I have never understood the need to have people you never talk to on your lists? If you delete them from Live Messenger, they are still blocked if that’s the reason you need to have them there. I guess other programs work the same? I don’t want to SEE people I don’t like, so away they go! It’s a habit I learned when I started using IMs back in the old days of slow computers.. Mine would freeze up and start to noise really bad whenever someone logged on!! So why have people there that just disturbed me, and not just friends I would talk to anyway?
