Any other MSN/Windows Live Messenger users on here have that issue where buddies who are ALREADY online appear to randomly sign in again?
You'll be sitting there, someone will be online, and then that little box will popup in the bottom-right, saying *ding!* "User has just signed in"... again.
I'm trying to understand this, because a few of my buddies (not all) are kind of flaky (you know, those people who say stuff, then don't reply for half an hour, and act like they never got your message), seem to do this like several times per hour at times, and I wonder if MSN really is borking around and interfering with the chat, or if they're flakes.
Or... another possibility... I know that at least one person who always does this uses a proxy, and changes IP regularly. (of course, never admitting it) Could it be that changing IP via proxy causes this? (assuming there are proxies that can affect more than just browsers... unless maybe they're using MSN through a site or something)
