Surely if I stick up for rich people on the Internet I'll eventually get a sweet job offer from them, right?

IMs are like AIM, you are talking back and forth instantaneously and and youll see other person is typing when they type

It is useful though. The people who default to calling them DMs have been corrupted. They are more bot than man.
