myself, i am not too much of a fan of it, but with now knowing who is "on-line" it would actually work.

i like the safety and security of replying in my own time, hence chat rooms and msn, kinda feels like peeps are in my face, in my living room and invading my privacy

LOL, dont get paraoid peeps i do use msn with, you are the lucky (or unlucky) two or three in this world that i do it with
