I'm with Becky here. I have a 15 year old daughter who has a million IM friends - and most of them know me. If they see I'm online they want to chat and sometimes when I'm at my computer I just want to work.
I never used the invisible feature on this board until last fall when the file sharing forum mess got so intense. A certain person who shalll reman nameless would send nasty pms if I was visible. I finally resorted to logging in as invisible for awhile until the flap died down.
