Yes, but this would require the user to specifically choose a service 
that they are adding a buddy too before entering the buddy name.  It's 
not a simple approach.

Conceivably yes.  We've talked about moving each service connection into 
it's own thread.  This will help with login times, etc.  Crashes will 
still most likely bring down fire.  There is not enough time in a year 
to make fire completely crash resistant (partly due to the sheer amount 
of "foreign" code in fire).
