    I like to have "appear offline" when im busy, then I can chat to the people I want to without other people annoying me.

    How can you use IM offline? Isn't that like saying I only use email offline?
    I don't get it...

    You mean setting your IM to say "I'm not here"?

    I think it's silly to remain offline.. just block people you don't want to talk to. :D

    Whenever I'm busy I keep the status on MSN Messenger as Appear Offline. There are few friends who doesn't care if your status is busy or away, they still message you :D
