Straw poll: How often do you have to repeat lost IMs?

How often do you have the problem of needing to repeat messages in IM? This can happen when you or the person you're chatting with has a flaky internet connection, gets disconnected, has a system crash, switches to a VPN, has two chat clients open, etc, etc.

Those are all cases where you might have some warning that a message may have been missed. I'm also interested to hear if it ever happens *without* warning that a message doesn't come through.

PS: I ask because we just wrote a plugin to deal with this problem: http://www.adiumxtras.com/xtra/6312

Happens all the time. Every few minutes, sometimes. Stupid comcast.

This isn't directly related, but it's very frustrating when I'm told a message hasn't been delivered or, worse,*might* not have been delivered, without telling me exactly which message it is if I've sent several.
