Shoutbox

I just got my Windows Live Messenger installed. My question is, are all my friends that I accepted their request or I requested them and they accepted, will all of them see each other? Another word, I wonder if it's like in Facebook where all my friends will be seen by everyone who are in my friends' list. If this is so with Windows Live Messenger, is there a way to prevent this so they will only see me as their friend and not all of my friends?

Thanks!

No, your contacts cannot see who you have added.

Thanks! That's a relief but why is it in the "What's new" it's reporting that "contact's name" joined "another network"? Say, contact1 joined person1's network. So, if I joined someone else network, would that also report to all my of contacts telling them who and how many I have joined?
