AIM is just ridiculous

AIM (AOL Instant Messenger for the blissfully unaware) is ridiculous.  Like, if you want to block someone, it pretends that they are not online. What if you WANT to know if they’re online, you just want them blocked too? It’s really quite silly. Because then you have to unblock them every time you want to know if they’re online or not.  Then, seeing that they are unblocked, they can IM you again.

And the whole process takes FOREVER.

This is one of many reasons AIM sucks.

too bad I can’t live without it.
