Heh, no nerve touched.

Privacy in Gaim is being reworked entirely.  Rest assured that "ignore
buddy" is no remarkable feat of programming.

You could have just said "conferencing"  (Sounds like you're copying  
from something Tellis wrote).  We already know how conferencing works,
and when I get some spare time, I'm going to make a UI for it (and for
MSN) more befitting to conferencing than our plain-ol chat UI.        
                                                                      
> * Send file via Yahoo file transfer server                          
> * Receive files via Yahoo file transfer server                      
> * Receive files directly from another client                        
                                                                      
All that is is HTTP.  When our in-progress file transfer GUI is       
completed, it will take 3 or 4 lines of code to impliment this.       
                                                                      
It really make no sense to abandon our code which is custom-built for 
Gaim to impliment a "library" based on the above code just to support 
a few features that don't yet have UI's
