What began as a serious question on my part has turned into something I now realize can't be answered on here, but it's also a source of amusement, upon reading the recent replies.
I realize thread updates are not spam. When you check "email replies to the address above" at the bottom of the window you type your message in, the replies come to you from the sender's email address. This means I have seen everyone's email address who has replied to this thread. I don't care WHO it comes from, since I can recognize stuff from here by the subject title. Plus I usually delete it after reading it, so no, I don't have a collection of your email addresses on file! 
Don, you're right. An easy solution would be to just minimize the IM window and forget about it unless I'm looking for someone specific online. I do use IM sometimes, but others initiate conversations much more frequently than I choose to. It's one reason I'm the only person on the planet without a cell phone--I don't want to be interrupted. Leave me a message at home and I'll get back to you. Yes, I'll answer IMs from people I don't know long enough to figure out who it is, then I decide to chat, or "Sorry, gotta go! Bye!" if I'm in the middle of something else.
Clarence, see my second paragraph above in relation to your question. Also, since aol is my ISP (internet service provider), my buddy list user name IS my aol address.
Next topic. OK, so um, what was your favorite Christmas present? :Þ Just as an aside, I wasn't familiar with the soundtrack to "Thoroughly Modern Millie" and hearing "The Nuttycracker Suite" for the first time made me laugh so much that I had to play that track several times in succession to get the full effect of it!!! Reminds me of that thread on here recently about the SPF bass clarinet solos.
