Who uses Aim/Aol?

[Techie©]

have got a lot of communication,processing and interaction difficulties with instant messaging/live chat,so avoid using it in all forms.
even with family,its got to be email unless its something serious/big like helping that pilock of a sister with her pc,hate it as it feels like snubbing people or not giving a damn about them.

woud venture into an IRC channel for SF if there was one made,but woudnt be able to say much and woud be very slow at replying.
HFs one seems a bit to random,OTT and fast to process any of it-just a quick look was to overloading.
sorry,dont want to take any attention away from the original topic of IMs,just wondering if anyone woud also like to set up an SF IRC so its multi user?
--waffle over and out.
