With iChat and Address book, I can add multiple screen names to one person's address book entry, and then I should be able to see them in my buddy list on any of their names. Well, this doesn't happen...at all. As soon as I put multiple screen names (AIM) for one person, they never show up on my buddy list again, in fact they disappear from the not-online faded screen names in the buddy list too. Why does iChat and Address book do this, and how can I correct this?

Thanks so much!

several of my address book cards have multiple (up to 10) aim sns, and they show up just fine on my buddy list.

I've re-added and done all that. My brother has experienced the same problem. So, any solutions? The whole point is that I shouldn't have to delete, re-add, delete, re-add until it finally works. So, any fixes?

no fixes - because I don't get the problem.

People show up for me just fine when they have multiple screen names, without me having to do anything weird.

All I can suggest is possibly deleting your preferences or something relatively general along those lines...
