#3 - IM Interest - I'm Not Interested

Some sites have, in addition to email-type private messaging systems, an embedded chat or IM system - which can lead to the most puzzling of drive-by attempts at conversation. Some, like the following, end up veering hard toward attempts to pick up, and sometimes I successfully and pleasantly steer them to more neutral topics.

(As with other messages, this is not his real name.)
