*Communicate*. The natural assumption (at least *my* natural assumption)
is that by adding an user, the information I will share with them will
be the *messages I send to them*.
I will also share my online status ("offline", "online", "available",
etc.), but I can choose that status from a very clearly visible chooser
in the main Kopete window.
Any other information buried into nested configuration dialogs is *not*,
in my opinion, a kind of information-sharing that is "natural" of an
instant messenger.
Let's make a comparison: when I choose to register online a product that
I have downloaded or bought, I am certainly *not* expecting it to send
information listing, say, all the programs that I have on my machine or
the contents or the contents of my filesystem --- even though I am
voluntarly enaging in information sharing with the software product's
maker.
