Sorry to anyone annoyed by my being in the Live lobby while "Away," but I've gotten to the point where I need to stay logged in once Sparky decides to let me play. Having Java issues (another ticket sent) that can make me have to keep trying to get in for as much as 15 minutes. So it's either stay logged in until I get booted, or give up on Live. Hopefully someone in support comes up with a solution before long.

I have to bounce out and get back in then it will work.

no annoyance.
on behalf of the live world thank you for the explanation.

I'll do that even if I'm just waiting for playoffs or some such.  Doesn't bother me at all.  That's what the away option is there for...
