Live Messenger - contacts wilth multipe IMs?

Hello,

I was wondering what is the "best practices" when we have contacts which has
more than one Windows Live ID? Could I "merge" two contacts together into
one so when either account comes online I would interact with?

I was hoping this functionality would exist since when editing contact
details in Live (Contacts or Messenger), we can add a secondary Instant
Messaging address.

Any ideas? Any workarounds?

Cheers,
P.

Greetings,

Well one way is to rename them (right-click contact, add a nickname) so they're at least
under one another in the contact list.
And/or, you could make them their own group (category in Live Messenger 2009).

That's about it though, Messenger has nothing really to deal with this situation.
