| "Heh" is pretty much just to acknowledge that something that has an element of humor to it, but wouldn't really make you laugh. |

a) really mean you're laughing

pretty much this, but not to the extent of laughter. Its a subtle show of appreciation to the funnah.
The other instance is if I don't like the person I'm talking to and they try to make a joke and its not funny at all.
As far as away messages go, I think it's important to use them to their extent. I often get annoyed when I see lyrics or something that's blatantly uninformative. That said, I often have my away message saying "not around... call" or something like that because I'm often too lazy to type my actual whereabouts. |

| I use it for something that's mildly amusing, but not 'haha' funny. |

| I see it as a laugh. Like on family guy Quagmire goes "Heh, all right! |

on the topic of away messages, whats really annoying is when you are set to "away" and people leave a load of messages there to annoy you....

I dont use "Heh" i use "hehe" that is a little "hehe" as it is written. it is like a smile, but tonal wise :)
it is a friendly atempt to substitute the ":)" smile :) |

I hate away messages that give you the whole night planned out.
"gotta work, then i dunnoo, maybe grab some food with some people, then go booze with some girls, who knows when i'll be home, so just call me"
i always translate that as
"work, then go out to eat with my work friends, then sit at my best friends house and hope we can get a girl to come over, and i'll most likely be home by 9:30"
|
Proper.
I always interpret it as insecurity and that the person is trying to prove something. It's ing lame beyond belief. |

That's like saying you can read too much into body language. It's communication all the same. |

+1.
I man c'mon, is it necessary to put( and I've seen this exact msg) :
"gone to chels and then megs, drinks with the boys, clubs, home and then work"
"Gone out" would have been just as fine. |

Yeah, but it's only one small aspect of communication. Lot's of people I know rely on IMing for business/pleasure (as opposed to using a cel phone or wtvr) and often times leave little away messages about wher they are or where they're going that night and is actually a realy convinient way to do things.
I don't have a cel phone because they are too goddamn expensive so if I really need someone to leave me a message I may change my nickname to " X leave me a message pls " or similar, it's really just functional.
I do however agree that some people who leave away messages would fall under the other category |
