the same thing...what makes them better options? nothing, depending on what you want. The bottomline is that there are reasons for doing it and you got them so do what you will with that information.

Are you one of those....

that repeatedly uses the same word and phrase OVER AND OVER AGAIN?

one that says the same exact thing on 6 different lines, without providing any additional information?

Can I ask WHY OH WHY the random capitalization of unvaried words? I mean, is it too hard to SLAP open a thesaurus? WHY OH WHY do you have to use the SLAP the same phrase on every line?

And then you keep going on and on, when it would have been enough to stop after the first question. WHY OH WHY?! SLAP YOURSELF! Thesaurus! SLAP!

Edit: Good topic OP, condense the nonsense.

The precise answer is that these people CRAVE attention. They slap up the away message so that:

1)EVERYONE can know what they're doing
2)They're insecure and want to come back to thier computer to see some "love"
3)Profit???

What bugs me more is when I'm leaving with a friend to go out somewhere, and he has to re-enter the house because "OMG, I forgot to put up an away message."
