appear online to select contacts

How can I select who I appear online to? I know about 'blocking', but does
the person who is blocked get feedback that he/she is blocked? I don't want
that; I merely want to appear online to only select contacts at times without
alienating my other contacts.
Yahoo Messenger allows you to select a contact and enable you to 'appear
online to this conact'. Does Windows Live Messenger have this feature?

Re: appear online to select contacts

It's been suggested several times. Hopefully they are listening.

Re: appear online to select contacts

Greetings,

Most of your questions have been answered by Larry, but just to complete the set, a contact
does not receive any indication that you've blocked them; besides the fact that you are now
offline.
