Well I just click it once... if it's a DBE during a reply... well, I complain, copy, paste and then go off and do something else. Close the window, reload PC.. when PC's back up, I just quickly click that thread. It like doesn't DBE for two minutes, then quickly reply the copied and pasted. Replying to threads becomes a time game at times. You have to reply within the right second or DBE. XD
I never seem to think that, I just expect that they're online, and talk to them if nesscary. But, if a person who hasn't talked to me in ages tries talking to me I just ignore them, and assume that wasn't to me. But some people don't get the message through their thick heads sometimes and keep hi'ing. But now, that rarely happens.... well actually, it only happens when those people that used to be on my contact list see me online.. they're the ones I don't like talking to me. XD
