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.
