 	A TiK Compatiblity Fix:  Make GAIM (optional) Ignore anything that
 		begins with: >>> Automated Message:
+	---------
+		Rob says:
 		Also, we can make a TiK Compatiblity option (when using TOC)
 		to send: >>>Automated Message: Getting Away Message<<
 		This will take the away message thats sent back from the
-		responding client and display it.  Not sure how we want
+		responding client and display it.
+
+			Eric replies:
+			I think the above is a bad idea and should not be
+			implemented. If people want to get away messages,
+			they should send their own message rather than
+			an automated message. Ignoring TiK's automated
+			message is a good idea though.
+			
+			Gaim and TiK are the most popular (are they?) Unix
+			clients, but the number of winaim users still greatly
+			outnumbers us. winaim won't be ignoring the automated
+			message. IMHO, sending an automated message makes the
+			client look weak and incapable.
+	---------
+		Not sure how we want
 		to implement this but since TiK and GAIM are two of the
 		most popular, I figured we might as well make them compatible.
