New description:

 I don't know if 'defect' is a fair classification for this, but here goes;
 I have several AIM screen names, and to double check that I was invisible
 to the people I blocked I tested it:
 I blocked screen name B on computer 1;
 I then moved over to computer 2 and signed in to screen name B, and could
 still see screen name A, and when I messaged it, they went through to
 computer 1.

 These computers are on the same router/modem, so they have the same global
 IP I guess, which I suppose could cause trouble, but I'm no coding wizard,
 I'm lucky to be able to deal with simple LISP tasks.
 Both computers are running XP Pro and pidgin 2.5.4.
 Thanks!

 [Edit]- I blocked one of my friends not in the same state, let alone
 subnet or whatever, and she was still able to see/message me, so it's not
 that.  Ideas?
 Thanks!
