I found this difference in ICQ clients behavior and I do not think about
the ethical side of this thing... it is up to the users. I am only
interested in the fact that almost any other ICQ client supports this -
sends the SNAC(03, 04) - although it uses the server side list. However
if I try this in Gaim the SNAC error appears. My reason was to allow
Gaim support feature, that the concurrence supports.
