Well, I have about 10 people in my BL but never see any red button next to their handle, though I'm pretty sure some of them use the anonymity feature (those for whom "Last activity:" don't show up in their personal profile). I *do* see red buttons but only for my own posts when I switch on the anonymity function. Besides, being able to see who is "online but hidden" would be a contradiction in terms.

I confirm it is useful to send out quick PMs, especially to several FTers at the same time. ^
