I shall go idle no more forever

After years of being staunchly anti-idle-time-blocking ("anti-idle time blocking"? I love punctuation! In this case, changing punctuation changes the way you read it and the way you say it. I prefer the heavily-hyphenated version on both counts.), I've decided to begin hiding my idle time. For those of you not versed in the lingo, I won't "go grey" (gray?) any more on your buddy list. I had always said such a move was "anti-social" (there's that pesky hyphen again. Since it's usually punctuated "anti-social behavior", one is led to believe that the appropriate hyphenation rule for hyphenating multi-word phrases is to hyphenate only the first prefix/word pair. The problem is "social" is used as an adjective modifying the noun "behavior." The relationship between the words in idletimeblocking (this is why hyphens are important) is not so clear. None of the words is oft-used as an adjective. The words are three pieces of clay (nouns -> tangible -> earth) pounded into a name. "Idle time blocking" becomes brick into which no punctuation (hyphens included!) can be inserted.). (Or should I have put the period before the parenthesis?) After careful evaluation of my recent AIMing, I've realized that I'm no longer a polite instant messenger ("instant message" being another inseparable block of word). Therefore, so as not to cause undue feelings of inadequacy should I ignore your instant message (If each word was loaded onto the page by a crane, "instant message" would be one cranefull.), I will equalize your level of disappointment when I ignore you when I'm "not grey" ("not gray"? 2 cranefulls.) and when I'm "grey" (just "grey").

May all your chats be filled with smilies! (& give more love to <({[punctuation]})>! :-)
