O.P. A Different Type of "Blockchecker"
Earlier today I suspected several people of blocking me, and to see if they actually had or not I signed out of my current email and signed in as appear offline on a different email to see if they were still online or not. Seeing that they actually had, I returned to my regular email. This is a perfectly valid technique, and doesn't require any trickery or whatnot like that. But I then thought, it would've been more useful if I could just sign into the other email and check without having to sign out of my current one. Yes - this can be done with polygamy, however I felt it would've been much faster to simply sign out and in again.

But what if some sort of "component" was added to MP!L which "signed into another WLM in the background", however to the end user they do not notice this effect. Then then the users contact list checks those who are online against those who aren't online and shows them with a different icon if they are online in the second contact list but not in the first. This would temporarily create some sort of polygamy function, however not making it so polygamy is actually on (and multiple sessions of WLM can be opened at will. Or maybe that's not possible and polygamy being on is polygamy being on - I don't know). This could be set up so the two emails always sign in to check the second contact list's contacts against the first.

In theory I would think this should work, however thinking about it more it could involve changing the entire way the second WLM would execute in the first place, not really making it plausible as a feature of MP!L. However I thought I'd just throw it out there regardless to see if it's a good idea or something similar at least.
