How the hell do I turn off Yahoo chat messages?

[spinoza1111]

The ONLY reason I use Yahoo is email. Period. I have NO interest in its garbage "social networking" capabilities, since Yahoo's software engineers are INCOMPETENT as compared to Facebook's engineers. When I am trying to access email using Yahoo, I am WORKING, and I have no desire to "chat" with lunatics, thugs, and whores.

These corporations ruined Silicon Valley and the lives, and livelihoods, of thousands of good engineers with their idiotic "me too marketing" of second-hand ideas implemented as Death March projects by Mongolian Hordes of minimally qualified little programmers. Now these Gadarene swine want to "do" social networking.

FORGET ABOUT IT, you clowns, you thugs, you worse than senseless things. It ain't gonna happen. Facebook has cornered the market.

Just tell me HOW to turn the feature off so that when I log in to see important email, I don't have to waste time waiting for a queue of greedheads, criminals, psychopaths, drug addicts, and ho-bags wanting to "chat" with me, you dig?

I'm asking "answers" because the morons at Yahoo Help are, of course, by definition, no help whatsoever.

There is a small window on the left side. Switch to Offline. You won't see them again.
