There's a difference in treating your users as if they were stupid,
and being user-friendly. Having a chat dialog starting with "Your
contact is away", and then still popping up "The user is away, are you
sure you want to send a dialog" when you try to send him/her a message
is telling the user he is an idiot, and is annoying for those who are
not.

Actually, call me stupid, but I don't.
