M t ,,, I have to agree with you as to those that park themselves in a chat room and not use away status when they in p m or actually reading and posting in forums ,,, or are having chats in other venues ,,

.I agree ,,, sux when you basically talking to walls . And I type that before I log out , Some folks feel the need to be seen and multi task .

>>>I say multi task in skype or ya hoo ,,,, not at a mental health support place . .

I try to always say I brb and set away status ,,, and I even say why I brb , >> maybe that is just I .

T/C M t ,,, Not always like that .
