I tried to set my status message to something like "Please ask me the question directly", but people didn't like it. And I hate to have to take my mouse, click on the notification, read "Hello", answer "Hello" and wait 30 seconds watching the "is typing" dots... I'm thinking of writing a macro (I have many) that answers "Hello" to the last message with a key combination. That way, no interruption if I was typing. A new notification will happen when the actual question arrives.

Maybe an application for an AI chatbot! It can get all the chitchat over for you and only then give a notification when a real question is asked. A question other than 'Can I ask you a quick question?' God I hate that. You mean two questions, since that was a question already. And why does it always have to be 'quick'? Does no one ever have a meaty question that will take effort to answer? I know; I'm a crusty old fart. But boy howdy would I use that AI chatbot if it existed.

  Much better than my macro idea! I want such an AI chatbot ;-)
