Ok, this sounds reasonably confusing... :)

They're complicated, there are so many options it sent my head spinning!
They are a waste of time. If place that much importance in messages, I need
to seriously examine my social life. I don't want to manipulate messages,
sort messages, read through countless messages, etc.

about me ;) Also, I can type reasonably fast, and usually don't carry on
for too long.
They take up space.. well, not much.. but I just don't like'em! And I
usually get stubborn about these things :)
