Windows Live Messenger Freeze

So at my work, we have this lunch guy who comes around noon everyday and everyday Lindsay (aka L) sends a group message to a bunch of people at work informing them of his arrival (Thanks L).

But…….Alas…….GOOD DEEDS NEVER GO UNPUNISHED!!

This ALWAYS and I mean A L W A Y S freezes my Messenger for atleast 20 seconds until everyone is done either replying to this conversation or leaving the conversation. It’s like a forced break for me.

Why Microsoft Why? :-(
