I tried to remove anyone who hasn&#8217;t logged in in a while or who i don&#8217;t actually talk to, but the reality is that AIM is my primary form of communication for work colleagues, for social connections, for geeking out.  I never login without there being at least 30 people that i know online (even now at midnight in the interim period).  Although i talk to only a fraction every day, i rely on the presence bits to be in contact with people regularly and have the ability to reach out when appropriate.  As more people get on AIM, work interactions switch to AIM and folks like my brother start maintaining one IM address per device, the caps are going to get more and more problematic.  I honestly don&#8217;t know what to do.<\/p>\n<p>How are other people handling conversation caps like the AIM cap?
