Appearing offline by Ansette on 06-30-2006 at 11:43 AM

OK, using WLM, I am appearing offline on a second (less used) account, twice now people have messaged me saying 'why are u always on appear offline?' that sort of thing..

I'm just wonderin, how do they know?

You'll have to ask them, because if your appearing offline, they shouldn't know... :S

If you sign in as online then appear offline, maybe they just guess your appearing offline?

Well maybe cause ur talking to so-and-so and they talk to so-and-so-and-so else which talks to you. So-and-so talks about how ur talking to them, so so-and-so-and so assumes ur appearing offline. Or maybe they weren't expecting you to answer and that you are really away.
