The Lost Art of "Logging Off"

Okay, i'm fed up.

Right now on my MSN, there are 36 people 'online'

Of there 36 people, 31 are "away".

Of the remaining 5, there are only 3 of which that are actually at their computers, chatting.

learn how to fucking sign off, for christ sakes!

Is it too much work to type in a half-dozen digit password everytime you wish to talk to people?

Add your 2 cents.

meh, i get a lot of people away, i don't mind, ya got something urgent to tell em ya can get through, but not if they're logged off. But i don't sign off either, only time i do is when i restart, which is rare as well, i'll go like 8 days on aim before i restart or get disconnected

This is the 'excess' mentality in action right there.

I have 16 people away right now on MSN.

However I can't hate because I do it a lot too. It's just easier and if someone needs to say something to me, they can.

... No need to sign off, thats what away mode is for. Some people still like to get messages while they are out.

Seems to me that you've done this on more then one occasion. I dont see anything wrong with it, I check my msn like 57 times a day, so signing in and out all the time would jujst be a hassle.

I hate that too. They always take time to type up a new away message "at the movies with some friends" or whatever. Nobody cares, just sign off.

I agree Rasta Man, why not log out. Since we no longer run Windows I don't use messenger anymore, I am starting to learn how to run Linux.

Any good?

Linux has always had my attention.

Windows sucks royal monkey butt, and Mac OS won't run the majority of the games/programs i use (though, i am in love with the interface).

In linux worth it?

It's a pain in some ways because I don't know much about Linux and find myself allways trying to figure things out. Many images and videos I just don't bother with because I have to go into different programs, same goes with messenger, I have to use Kopete. It's very secure and stable, Brian talked me into to it.

Friends don't let friends use windows.LOL
