I wouldn't consider this closed.

I think they should all be renamed to personal message because:

a) That's what they are called in MSN - took me ages to work out what an away message \
even was. b) You can have one even if you aren't away!
c) No-one uses them to say why they are away/where they are (examples from my \
contacts: "Urgh, lumps in the pink milk from horrible Cambridge water", "Sun is \
shining, my car is sexy, you are sexy, I am a happy child." "I'm a holding, stroking \
loving machine. Also spanking". - See - why would anyone call that an away message?

I realise this may be MSN-centric, but in Europe no-one uses anything else (except \
perhaps skype).
