What happens if you disable the "See on-line status" (or whatever the box says) and disable the "see location on map" (again, or whatever) on your friends list.
Does your friend see any difference... i.e., is there a message that says something like "XXX person has removed map viewing" or some other warning? Or is it completely transparent to the friend?
And.. as follow-up, if you re-check those boxes, does it appear that you just logged on or is there some other status that shows if you are both on-line and you reactivate the check box to allow the friend to see your on-line status? (Does that make sense... sorry, not enough coffee yet).
Many, many thanks -
