I'm just wondering because I have im'ed a few people and they wont respond back. J/w if I did somethin to make you guys mad at me.

how many times have you emailed them before IM'g them ?
Did you IM wait 10 secs then re IM ?

i dont know you, so i'm not mad at you, no idea whats going on though!

was in a mtg lil buddy

Might be better to send them a message and ask them first because if they happen to be chatting with someone on their yahoo or something they may not be able to see the request drop down to notify them that there is someone wanting to chat with them. I know when my IM is on and I am chatting with someone, it is over the left side and if someone comes down to IM me if I am online on JSH I am unable to see it there. I know you have friends here. I'm sure they would chat with you if they are able to. Best of luck to you.
