To be honest with you, I leave AIM on all the time, I just get disconnected every now and then. Sometimes, I have a response time of two seconds, and sometimes I go to bed and then pay school a visit, which adds about 15h to my response time. Besides, I'm 6 hours ahead of eastern time if anyone would really need to know.
