That's what I used to think, but I've changed lately and have become very security-paranoid.

You never know when your past (even trivial things) could possibly come back to haunt you.

Instant messanger is very insecure to begin with. If you want secure communications go with something along the lines of encrypted irc or other encrypted chat programs (I think jabber can do this).

I'm guessing that P2P is as secure as I can get.
