Hi! Because of the mighty retarded Steam interface, I can't send you a message. You're online - but the message windows says that you're not. And anyway, why can't messages be sent to offline people?

I am new to Steam, as you can see from my critique of the interface rather than having given up and submitted to it without asking questions.

My friend invite to you was an accident, though I see no reason to change the situation. It's up to you. - When I clicked the friend invite, I expected that an "Are you sure?" window would appear, as it does on every other such system known to man. Also, I expected that I could type a reason for the friend invite.
