I didn't say he counts it chatting when you say yes to something; only when you have a long string of short messages in a conversation such as:

"Are You online?"

"Yep."

"Do you want to do an art trade?"

"Sure, what'd you have in mind?"

"Could you draw two characters?"

"Absolutely."

"Well then Please draw my characters Bluddwing and Flipp."

"What do They Look like?"

A bunch of messages like this only two or three minutes apart would, in Lord TBT's view, constitute chatting. I don't really agree with that, though I do agree it is unneccessary; this whole conversation could have been condensed to two messages;

User 1: "Hey there! I was wondering if you'd like to do an art trade. If so, I'd like you to draw two characters of mine named Bluddwing and Flipp; one is a bat and the other is a shrew; they both wear red tunics, and Bluddwing has a silver crown on his head. If you want to draw this, Let me know, and send me the description of the character you'd like me to draw. If not, that's OK too."

User 2 now has the option to accept or decline, and can do so, and/or send their character description, in the next message. This is how I normally send messages anyway because I don't like waiting for people to respond and prefer to get it all discussed in one shot. Now do you see what I mean?
