 Replying to [comment:2 MarkDoliner]:
 > I think the "get info" behavior is totally normal and I suspect there is
 nothing we can do about it (but if official AIM clients somehow disallow
 other people from fetching your info while you're invisible then please
 let me know).

 are both accounts on AIM and not ICQ?  If you open Tools->Privacy for your
 account, is the other guy listed when your privacy status is set to "Allow
 only the users below"?

 It does not seem to matter what other protocols we are using or not, it
 hasn't changed the behavior. Whether I use just AIM, or AIM + ICQ and/or
 others, or if the other person does the same, we've tried it all. And
 we've both tried all combinations of the privacy settings to no avail...
 but no, neither of us are in an allow/deny list under privacy, nor are we
 blocking anyone to begin with. Hope this helps.
