Some of you may be familiar with ICQ/trillian/AIM.  There are away messages on most systems and for the most part I'm posted as some type of away message on my trillian.  Saying "My dog's name is Sobotka" or any other things without a long response normally means I'm away.  I've gotten plenty of Message-->Away Message Return-->what? responses.  Just a heads up for y'all who've never messed with the away messages.
