The only useful nag of that kind I've had is when the connection to ICQ and/or AIM has been screwed up and my client had simply not <i>realized</i> it, hours later. Gotta love software! Yup.

Like emails asking why I'm not responding on messenger. Utterly ridiculous. Sometimes I'm really fast at replying on messenger, sometimes I'm slower than hell. Depends on what I'm doing. A conversation with me could last all day long because there are such long breaks in between. But some people find that annoying. Oh well. Heh, Yeah I’ve had my share of those.

Since I'm online most of the day during work hours, people do occasionally expect me to see emails instantly. At one point I tried to keep up with them all the time as well but that just drives you crazy after a while. So I try to limit it to a few times per day, now. I’ve had those too, actually.

"Hello? Where'd you go?" style comments make me want to just toss Adium out the window and revert to emails only. People at least don't expect immediate responses to THOSE. (Imagine that. An email directly followed by another email going "Hello? Where'd you go? Why aren't you replying?" Heh. Horrible thought.)
