Sorry Norman, I didn't mean to offend anyone. Perhaps mailing lists aren't the best place for humor like that. :) I was just making fun at the fact that a reliable way to get people to respond to a post on a list is to rub them the wrong way. I just want to get some discussion going on the subject of presence priority. As the XMPP client landscape gets more diverse, coming up with a good set of implementation guidelines is paramount. -JD
