Actually, I do it because sometimes Yahoo doesn't discover all my online
buddies. I think I described this problem before:
1. An undiscovered buddy will appear if the buddy changes his/her status
(unless it is to Invisible, of course).
2. This seems to be a problem with Proteus as well, which makes it seem to
me that it is a problem with libyahoo.
3. At least for me, there are three sets of Yahoo buddies. Set 1 is always
discovered by Fire. Sets 2 and 3 seem to be mutually exclusive. I am not yet
sure if the sets are deterministic (not sure if each user always belongs to
a certain set. I will make note though).
So I reconnect to see what Sets 2 and 3 are, and switch between sets (for
instance, if I want to send a message to someone that is in Set 3 while Fire
has discovered Sets 1 and 2).
