Many thanks to everybody who emailed me in response to my yesterday's post about the iChat "feedbag" error and its resolution in iChat AV 2.1.
Yes, it is indeed fixed. I no longer get the feedbag error 17. Instead, I get this:
On one hand, this is way more clear to the user. One the other, I still can't have many friends. Sigh...

You should use Adium (http://adium.sourceforge.net/) with multiple accounts, and add the buddies to a second account.
Posted by: Etan on April 2, 2004 6:36 AMIn an era when Google is offering 1000MB of email storage for free, limits on buddy list size seem kind of silly.
Posted by: Chris Hanson on April 2, 2004 9:12 AMI believe that aim limits buddy-lists to 200 users. I don't know why, so I use an application called trillian (available for free at trillian.cc) and it lets me have more, but I'm not sure about a mac version.
Posted by: Jeff on April 4, 2004 10:18 AMI have been getting the same problem ever since I got iChat AV. However, my buddy list only contains 79 people. I get the error typically when the user is online and I try to add them. If I add them, get the error, and then close and reopen iChat, the user is added and then online.
Sidenote: I also recently got the feedbag error by changing the user info from their screen name to their actual name by control clicking the name and changing their info. Once again, closing iChat and reopening fixes this issue, and the user is added.
