The main problem with MSN vs ICQ is that on MSN ppl seem to be 'expecting' a response right away simply because your status is 'Online'. When you don't answer in a timely fashion the n00bs will accuse you of ignoring them.

This was never an issue on ICQ - but, then again, not many n00bs used ICQ either.

I need to find a new word for n00bs

I agree it seems to be a generational thing here. Newer users of IM seem to be waiting on the edge of their seats for a response; MSN even tells the receiving client when the sender is typing back a message (I find this somewhat annoying). I usually treat IM the way I treat email: I always have a window open and I quickly parse the subject lines for important/urgent messages, however I will only reply when I have the time to do so.

This was never really an issue on IRC either (IRC predating IM). BitchX queues up my pvt messages and I'll reply to them when I get a chance. If it's urgent then call my cell phone, kthx!

True real time chat takes the cooperation of *both* parties.

Wow, old school.

Last time I used ICQ though, I got assaulted by spam-bots.

ICQ taught me that for every white guy, there is an Asian girl.

Hahaha, when it comes to the Pope I'm usually surprised to get a response at all.

People used to bug me on MSN when I didn't respond quick enough, so I decided to do some conditioning by disabling the auto-away function and keeping my MSN online all day, every day, and did this during a time when I was usually only home for 2-3 hours a day (excluding sleep). Needless to say, it worked, people got the hint. Now I don't have that problem anymore - or maybe it's just that I don't speak to nublets on MSN anymore...
