Hmmmmmm ... I get it! We either post as "online" or "offline".

But, wait a minute.

To post ANYTHING, we have to be "online".

So, the "offline" post is somewhat useless.

I suppose we could make up a firm rule. If you say you're "offline", then we know that you're intending to go "offline" in just a few seconds. Otherwise, if you go "offline", then try to tell us that you're offline, then you'll have to go back "online" to post that information. Then, you'd have to say you're "online", but only to post that you're "offline".

These details can be so troublesome at times.

Sigh ...
