in reply to /away CB command?

Note to the implementors: Change some/most of the xml tickers to not update the "Other Users" list. Ones to change include private message xml ticker, and XP xml ticker.

If you, for example, don't change chatterbox xml ticker, then chat clients could allow the user to toggle whether fetches of that page use the cookie or not: if such fetches don't use the cookie, then the user won't show unless they talk; if such fetches do use the cookie, then the user shows up constantly. Thus /away becomes a client problem^Wfeature to implement and not a server one.
