LOL I keep getting IMs and I will accept them, but I will wait for them to say something first. IF they don't after a few I will say something, and then the red writing will show up, "Waiting for Such and such to connect." You IM me and you aren't even connected? Stop wasting my time. I like talking on the IMS, but don't waste my time if you get me and then don't say anything or aren't even connected.

Im curious to know what does one do when you get an instant message? second if you decline. why? and third what drives you to continue on? I click yes and chat with them. Why not?

I only IM off site and at a scheduled time and only if I have already talked to them through email or in post.

I keep mine turned off too. I don't like the interface this site uses for the IM and I prefer either chatting by email or on the forums.

I find Instant Messenger an excellent way to communicate with people . In an email ,you can not say all as it gets long enough. In IM ,you can chat forever . I do not see what the fuss is all about !. People are different and what is good for Mr X is not necessary good for Mr Y . Also ,it depends on what you really wish to achieve from a contact . If you just wish to waste people time because you are bored ,that becomes your problem and if you have something interesting to say ,it is another matter . Take care everyone and nice to read your take on that . !.

In IM ,you can chat forever. If I am to the point where I would be chatting non-stop with someone via IM, I MUCH prefer the phone. JMO of course.
