Now that I have broadband I've been accidentally leaving AIM on all the time without an away message and I'll have like 10 IMs asking me what the hell I'm doing... I feel bad but stuff happens..although... there's still some courtesy that should go on.
BUT some people get too bent out of shape about stuff for example during my freshman year of college I had a friend who was SOOO ANAL she would expect me to stay home just to talk to her on line if she didn't have anything else to do.. (I went to school in LA.. she went to school at NAU in Flagstaff AZ) She would get mad if I had to go all of a sudden or if a left an e mail saying I had to cancel a chat or something... yeah... just a bit clingy and scary... we are no longer friends...
