You mean other people don't understand that sometimes someone feels comfortable with only one other person to discuss a problem? Or maybe they just want a one on one for whatever reason? OR... better yet, don't have a nasty mind? LOL Just kidding... but then again, maybe not.

Ages ago, when I was active in an AOL chat room, when two people went into a private room or were busy IMing each other and not participating in the general chat, we said they were "in the loft." LOL

GAWD! You can't always be responsible for other people's feelings.
