It also takes forever to empty. Sometimes people come on to do work, not chat. So instant messaging that person 20 times is not going to make them happy. When someone tells you they are busy, let them alone. Also don t waste people s time by talking about non-important stuff.
Time is very important.
Even more so for people like me, whose computers are slow and waste enough of our time already. Meaning that everyone was new to the internet at sometime. To some people who are not familiar with computers, it takes a while for them to get acquainted to using programs. You made mistakes too. Let them know nicely what they did wrong and correct them.
