Spoilers on the weekend weren't too bad for me... WitB was well-behaved, and I had the AC off for the first and most of the second day. >_>
Anyway, I'm with Finn on that one (except for the multitasking... it's annoying and draining but I've managed to maintain a large number of conversations at once :p), but I don't think anyone ever demands instant attention and automatically assumes the worst when they're ignored, save for a handful... if it's important to me (ie, I need the 8th person now now now), I send a PM. Always. It's the hardest to miss due to the fact that PM's are -never- destroyed by zoning, make a noise, and show up even when all your chats are off.
