    After every questionable comment you might make in a message just put ;-). Problem solved.

    For real though, I really don't care if people see my IMs. 99% of it is just jibber-jabber anyway, so who cares.

    If your are dumb enough to write messages like "My boss is an asshole" over IM, then that is your own fault if your get busted. ;-)
