Comment (by TehWan):

 Replying to [comment:8 Pietro]:
 > Proper blocking cannot be only a status blocking because, *as I
 explained*, one has the chance to determine if one is online or not by
 sending a message. Please, re-read the ticket... could you still believe
 that status-only blocking could be intended as proper blocking?
 Please, re-read my post... I do not believe that status-only blocking
 could be intended as proper blocking. I remember back with Windows
 Messenger, you had no way to know if someone blocked you or is simply
 offline, which was incredible. Nowadays, you can know when people are
 blocking you or not? What is that, a security flaw? But we're not here to
 discuss the MSN Protocol. Actually, there should be a way to block offline
 messages, which is what we receive when we block people.

 Anyways, in reply to [comment:7 salinasv], I guess it could, thanks.
