When one needs or desires to work on something for a while without being
disturbed and having their concentration ruined and their perhaps limited
time eaten up, it is most difficult to pull off. If you take an alternate
cit (a hider), sooner or later you screw up and telegram someone without
thinking and blow your own cover! (guilty) If you put up AFK...yet you are
spotted in your world you receive grams telling you your AFK is on and you
must not know it O_O ! If you don't answer your grams and think you will get
to them later........half the people think you are busy, the other half
think they are being snubbed and get ticked. Annnnnnd, if you use the
infamous ? beside your name, you lose half your friends and an
unbelievable number of ? begin to show up on your own contact list. Last,
but definitely not least, if you use the 'block telegram' feature, people
assume they have been singled out, that you are mad at them and they never
want to speak to you again. The current statement that you are not accepting
grams at this time sounds simply.....rude.

It would be sooooooooo nice if some alternatives were added to the choices,
much like the ones on an IM proggie. Busy, Working, Out to Lunch,
etc........or my favorite would be one that would say you were not accepting
grams FOR THE MOMENT but will resume in X number of minutes or hours.

Would this be so difficult??
