As someone that doesn't like facebook, I find this a very useful feature. I rarely ever check facebook, don't have it on my phone, don't get their e-mails, etc, but haven't deleted it just yet because maybe there are some people from my past that I don't communicate with that I might like to some day. People who are on facebook all the time don't understand that not everyone who has an account will always see their messages, and even though I've repeatedly told family members to e-mail me, they still try to send me messages. This feature would help people to realize that I'm not actually reading facebook messages on a regular basis. People that want to contact me, know how to contact me. Family members.. well they're not always the brightest bunch.
