Except then it has to show up as a message from the person.  If I click 
a button, my IM client should NEVER send text to the person with whom 
I'm chatting which looks as if I have typed it.  I want it to be able 
to show up inline but like other status changes/conversation 
errors/conversation updates/etc.

Didn't you say in another thread that there should be no automatic 
disconnection of the ConnContext when signing off?  So the notification 
wouldn't go out when the person signs off.

And on another tack: Does the heartbeat present the same problem?
