I'm being shady. Can you appear offline to someone on AIM like you can on yahoo?

You can block them, but then you can't see when they are online either. AIM really does suck as far as messengers go, yet it remains the most popular.
/why you no message me?

i've blocked 100% of my MSN.
i'll let you know when i want you to see me online 
"in the year 2047 it will be a felony to login to MSN as 'away' unless you are actually 'away' ".

I keep it set to away. That way they still have some hope that I might be there, but I can just ignore them should they message me. You never know, that first line of a conversation might just be interesting.
