take a step back and a deep breath because what I am about to say is actually topical...

I gave up on AOL Instant Messenger about 2 years ago. It really lost it's appeal when I started working and realized that it is no fun to go to work and sit at a computer for 8 hours just to come home and sit at a computer some more.

But I signed in tonight, and much to my surprise, while I embarked on my AIM boycott, the rest of you forgot to follow. Shame. Shame!

However, what is even more shameful is the fact that some of you are still using the SAME AWAY MESSAGE that you were using two years ago. You couldn't think of anything else even remotely interesting to put in your away message over the course of two entire years?

Two years is a long time to be away doing anything. It's time to move on! Especially you mr. "playing a video game."
