Yeah I hear ya. I am not really a chatter though. For the most part I keep my away message up when I am online because it seems people will IM me at the most inconvenient times and I feel bad that I can't chat so I leave the away message up. I have one friend who will IM me as soon as I wake up and log on in the morning. He doesn't understand why I am not awake enough to engage in an on-line conversation that early
