    I only use instant messengers when <b>I</b> want to talk. Otherwise, I'm on Away (meaning I don't answer - and often I'm on Away even while I'm at the computer). Same when I had a cellphone. Leave me a message, I will call back. My phone was usually off, because the phone is there for me to use to call others, not for them to reach me.

    Which is why I prefer email. I want to choose when to respond.

    Thats not being a hypocrite, you're there in case someone wants to talk. Its not like you're saying random things to random people on IRC.

    Small talk is meant to lead up to actual conversation, i.e

    "Hey"
    "Oh, hey"
    "How are you?"
    "Not too bad, I was feeling a little sick this morning but I took some panadol, so I should be right for my classes tonight. What about you?"
    "Not too bad either. I remember night classes.. they were so boring, heh. I dropped them after 6 months and now I'm just going to normal uni... it's a lot better, you should try it."
    "Maybe... I'm not a morning person, though. "

    Then the conversation goes on from there.

    There are two main problems with this set up:

    1) Most of the time, the people talking to you are too ridiculously stupid to have an actual conversation. You're meant to pick up on the bait provided, and start talking. No matter what you say, what you do, nothing will help these people, so drop them, and move on.

    2) You may be an arrogant egocentric b*stard.

    "Hey, what's up"
    "LOL SHUT UP LOL I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO WITH MY CHAT PROGRAM THAN CHAT"
    "Right."

    Hm...

    Well, IRC is different from IMs, because IMs are exclusive 1 on 1 convos that blink, get up in your face, and minimize your game.

    With IRC, you just go in to see what the people are talking about and decide if the conversation is erotic enough to partake in.

    doesn't posting in these forums automatically make all of us avid time-wasters?

    ZING!

    In real life if someone is bugging me the crap out of me, I stare them straight into the eye for five seconds and say, "Hey! Does it look like I want to ####ing talk?Get the #### out of my way..." Works every time.

    i like the people on IRC who desperately try to draw attention to themselves through some random acts of stupidity that aren't funny at all. and then there's the people who PM you because you have op in a big channel.

    "sUp"
    hi...
    "can i have op"
    no...
