This is not exactly true : you will be automatically be signed in as the last status used to be signed in.

You cannot send messages to people while your appearing as offline. You have to change your status to online/busy/away etc to send or recieve messages. Basicially there is no feature of msn messenger where only you can send messages and your contacts can't send them back.
That is EXACTLY why I disagree with the "appearoffline" status !!
and why also i cannot just "dont use it" !
