Yea, it's hard to lurk in the chat room and not be reminded that you are 
still there since the window or tab does pop back up.  I've tried to chat 
in MSN messenger tonight while the Cafe was running and YES, you will end 
up typing into the other program without knowing it unless you're paying 
attention (something I hope we all do, anyway).  Blame it on Javascript, 
but some browsers are actually nicer and don't really steal the focus from 
the entire desktop like I've heard about some doing.
