I haven't used this feature (no need), but that does seem like a poor 
way to handle it. I'd rather have Rendezvous folks float in their own 
list of users and get purged when I quit/disconnect rendezvous. But 
like I said, I've no need for this feature. Everyone I chat with who 
uses iChat has an AOL/.Mac name, so I use that.
