it doesn't:
- your presence only gets broadcasts to people you've explicitly authorized
to subscribe to your presence (and you can de-authorize people at any
time)
- furthermore you can actually selectively send your presence to people,
allowing you to present different presences-modes to different people at
the same time.

1. Encrypted mail preferred (GPG KeyID: 0x86624ABB)
2. Plain-text mail recommended since I move html and double
format mails to a low priority folder (they're mainly spam)
