umm  just cause the status of someone is Away instead of the Idle that you can see, it doesnt mean that they're there what arey you guys talking about  i put my status on Away when i really am away, and sometimes also when im still on msn, so you can never know just by saying that if they're on Idle it means they really are away and if they're on Away it means they're there |

yeah, i know, if they're on Idle then you know for certain that they arent on theie computer, but if they're on Away it doesnt mean that they are at their computer for certain, like someone said:

With a feature like this, they could determine if you were there anyway and start saying, "Hey, why aren't you answering me? I know you're there, man..."

This is besides the point but, yes it would be non of your bussiness if the person wants to fake it. Let them, it's there right. quote:

Indeed "or whatever"... Some people will become idle after 1 minute, some people after 99 minutes,... or whatever...
- the "idle"-status is something that is send to you automaticly, it is not requested or anything. It is just another ("undocumented") status in Messenger. Hence no invasion of privacy...
- Plus! already shows this in the eventslog.
- If someone is "away" (instead of "Idle") doesn't mean he is at his PC
- The "Idle" status depends on your MSN Messenger setting: "Show me as away when I'm inactive for x minutes". If you didn't tick that feature, then you will never be in "Idle". Hence you still can truly be away when you set your status to "Away".
- Thus it is only after X minutes of inactivity that your status will be set to "Idle", and only if you have that option ticked.
- Note that there are also Messenger addons which let you choose to set your status to "Idle".

Seriously, that would suck ***... 
I don't think so, if I want my contacts to leave me alone, I set my status tu busy, not away |
