I don't know if they do or out.

I have people on my FB who want to chat all the time. Just because I am on
there doesn't mean that I have time to chat. For this reason I took off my
MSN Messenger. At some point they linked it to my Yahoo account. So every
time I went to check my mail there, this one person would start IMing me. I
would keep telling her that I was only on there quickly to check the mail
and that I didn't have the time to IM. And she would reply something like,
"Yes you are! It says you are online!" Gah! IMing can be quite handy.
But I generally use it only if I need information from a certain person
right away. I don't usually use it to chat but occasionally I do.
