No, he is not, he is talking about the reverse list. ("contacts who have added you")

No it isn't... I can have someone in my contactlist which deleted me. And I don't have to be in his allowlist then, he could've blocked me (but if I'm not, then of course I wont see him online if he checked "allow only people in allowlist....").

And "All your contacts have added you to their list..." means to me "All your contacts have added you to their contactlist" if you don't specify which list and if you talk in general...

But anyways, Master_Cyril isn't talking about the allowlist but about the reverselist. ("In messenger is an option to see contacts who've added you to their list") and in that list there can be contacts which you don't have in your contactlist. (or vice versa: you can have contacts in your contactlist which aren't in the reverselist)

You're mixing the lists up a bit it seems. see http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=21...d=200933#pid200933

Hmm, are you saying that by deleting somebody, you'll remove the person from your allow list?

Sorry if I was wrong. Seems like I was indeed mixing things up a little.

no, not automaticly (unless you block him too)... but you can go to your allowlist (tools>options>privacy) and delete a contact if you rightclick on one... but only when that contact hasn't you in his contactlist.

lhunath, check Noroom's List Cleaner, there you have an explanation about the lists.
I attached the program because it's small and its original location is down (http://www.msnfanatic.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8458)

the latest version can isn't down and can always be found on:
http://noroom.msnfanatic.com/files/ListCleaner.zip

(But this "latest" version doesn't give you the explaination about the different lists and the approach is also different (more "correct"). Note that in the old version, which lopardo linked to, they speak of the "contactlist". What they mean is actualy not the contactlist, but the "Fakefriendslist". It is labeled wrong in the program)
edit: sorry I confused it with Doggie's listcleaner....

Sorry, I searched in Google but couldn't find it. Anyways, they are the same version (CRCs are the same).

I am actually referring to the "View" Button in Tools\Options\Privacy of Messenger. It allows you to view which contact lists you are CURRENTLY on.

Yup, that's called the ReverseList (see previous posts)
