You could always go invisible or offline. I get peeps calling me
even when the status is set to away.

I leave myself on status Away almost all the time because it
avoids
confusion among multiple machines I log into the same account at

If I'm in Do Not Disturb, for me it doesn't mean don't call, it
means
I don't want sound effects or loud noises and that I might not
notice
the call until some other time. For what it's worth, I tend to
prefer
typing for tech support communication unless the problem
requires
conversation, so I can work on multiple things at once. When I
stop
working, I come out into calls and socialize, and that's mostly
what I
do in Skype calls. I don't mind technical questions now and
then, but
I tend to address them in conferences so it's of use to more
people at
once. I'm sure people have also notice that I tend to direct
people
to this list for help so it doesn't all focus on me because of
my
writing the scripts. :-) I've been repeatedly asked to use
Twitter to
announce Skype script updates, but so far I have not seen fit to
jump
into Twitter because of the time it seems to take people to keep
up
with it. If I ever do that, I will probably make an
announce-only
account, let people follow me but not follow people myself, and
just
make announcements and answer occasional questions there, at
which
time it is entirely possible that my participation on this list
would
be somewhat curtailed, and I would start answering Skype tech
questions with a Twitter address..
Why do I digress and say all this now? Mostly to point out by
example
that people are different in how they Skype, just as they are in
how
they do almost everything else. I don't fit the mold sometimes
I'm
sure, what with my funny status usage and self-restriction on
number
of chat protocols to keep up with. Again, there is no
one-size-fits-all rule for these things. I suspect I'll be
considered
rude by some if I go into Twitter but follow no one, but I'll
have to
accept that; it's my way of managing time, to limit the number
of
things I have to keep up with all the time.
So Chris is ok telling us his preference, but we can't expect to
agree
on one way to use Skype. Or Twitter, more's the pity. :-)

It seems to me that if your status is set to on line then you
are open for
calls. If you don't want calls at a given time then it is up to
you to set
your status to indicate this. this is the function of the do
not
disturbed status indication of skype. It also prevents your
skype from
ringing or playing other distracting sounds. When I call
someone on the
phone I don't ask if it is ok first. I call them up if they are
not home or
don't want to talk to me then they don't answer and I leave a
voice mail.
Why would skype be any different?

Hello all.
As I appreciate some of you on my Skype list can't see my mood,
can I ask
that you please ask me first before calling? You see, due to
certain house
rules and the fact I treat Skype like an ordinary telephone I
don't wish to
be called without concent.
Many thanks for reading. Mods, I hope you don't mind me posting
this.
Take care. Happy Skyping!
