    No, it just remove that buddy from YOUR buddy list. You remove an ID from your buddy list because you are no longer interested in that ID's online/offline status, and you do not need to send instant message to him/her frequently.

    If you don't want someone to know your online/offline status, or to send you any message, you can add that ID to your ignore list: click menu "messenger", then "Preferences" -> Ignore List -> Add.

    That way, although that id still has you in his/her buddy list, he/she can not know your online/offline status, nor can he/she send you any instant message. You just appear permenantly offline to that id.

    If you just don't want to reveal your online/offline status to that id, but still allow that id to send you instant message, you just need to set yourself invisible to that particuler buddy.

    Yahoo somewhat needs to seem into making this achievable. There are some those that i'm continually "invisible" to, and after I delete them from my list, then my stealth putting is invalid, and they could be able to be certain me on-line! GRRRRRR!!! For some reason, there are a pair of human beings that "ignore about" received't artwork for, and that i do not comprehend why. i have tried clearing my ignore about list in case i have hit some type of quota, even with the undeniable fact that it received't artwork. particularly, I somewhat ought to keep those ******* on my messenger list so i visit somewhat keep myself invisible to them. sounds like they have short-time period memory loss. i visit inform them to bypass to hell faster or later, and the subsequent day they're sweet speaking me like i somewhat appreciate chatting with them. *sigh* in case you ever be certain this out, let me comprehend!

    As was said above... it only takes people off YOUR list.

    If you want to block those people from sending to you, go into your privacy settings and enter them into your Ignore list.
