 Replying to [comment:4 Shane10101]:
 > Seriously.  The whole purpose for using an IM client that can access all
 the IM networks I use ''is'' abstraction!  I don't care what IM network a
 friend is on any more than I care what cell phone carrier a friend uses.
 Why does it make ANY sense to keep arbitrary groupings if that's the case?

 Grouping is a completely tangential topic to protocol association. I have
 groups like "Pidgin people", "College", and "Friends".  None of those have
 anything to do with what protocol my buddies are on (and in fact I know
 that there's plenty of mix).

 Likewise, someone who doesn't like groups could just put everyone in to
 one group and then be done with it.
