An honest question: why do you say
"or has he blocked you"?
You see, it is exactly this association which need to change.
Can't it just be that he is just "Appearing Offline"?...
So, in fact your question illustrates exactly why I'm not fond of such notfiers and why I constantly stress on the fact that such things shouldn't be used, nor made. People simply don't know how to use/interpret it (even if they are willing)...

Well, if you don't get any response if the contact is truely offline, I smell a rebuild of block checker.
If you are desperate to find out whether someone has blocked you, you can actually find out if they blocked you, if you keep on changing dp and everything else that might trigger a response at the other contact's wlm... I mean it's like fishing, they have to bite once...
You could even track your contacts for opening a session (especially if so many things can trigger a response) and if they do respond, you know you've been a bad boy
I'm sorry, but that's a completey wrong logic.

stop testing....
Honestly, all this talk or even thinking you can make something, is wrong.
You even forget that there are things like a protocol which may (or may not!) send messages to Messenger and that you don't even see (regarding your "
since messenger blocks toast for blocked contact, it would only work for people that are appearing offline"). You forget that there are more types of connection than the one which a "open session" sniffer detects. etc...
The only thing it will do is fuel people minds with even more (wrong) hopes and (wrong) thinking notifiers are usefull or how to use them...

It is not bizarre at all... Such thinking/associating like you do (with all due respect) is bizarre and inlogic.

yes many people would like this because many people are fueled with hopes that such things work.
They so badly wanted it that they even believe such things work.
I'm not marking you, or any of you, as n00b or or newbie though. But there is no loophole. There are no secret hidden things. It does not work like this. Period.
(gosh... this sound seriously negative and finger pointing... sorry, didn't mean it this way, but don't know another way to say it :/)
