Yahoo 360 / My Friends / Offline vs Offline IM / Difference?

Question

On Yahoo 360 under "my friends" why do some show a status as simply "offline" and another show a status of "offline IM"?

What is the difference? Does the "offline IM" status mean I've been ignored or blocked? Even the color of the status is a different color. AND, if it does mean I've been blocked or ignored - is it just on yahoo 360 or IM or both? Is there a way to tell?

UPDATE: Offline means they don't have a IM link displayed on their 360 page for YOU to see, I believe. Offline can also mean nothing - as some people don't use Messenger anyway and don't have the link displayed to anyone because of that. So, offline is just automatically displayed under their name in the Friends module. It'll never light up unless they use Yahoo! Messenger or display their IM link on their 360 space.

Offline IM means that they have chosen to display a IM link on their 360 space.
