If you're going to message me on any realtime medium, meaning AIM ICQ MSN Y! or IRC, please be aware that while I may be online 24 hours a day, I'm not sitting in front of my keyboard 24 hours a day.

If I take more than about 15-30 minutes to respond to a "Hey/Hi/Hello" leave a message stating the reason you are contacting me and an email address where I can respond to you if you're no longer online.
