9 Minute Timeout

The 9 minute timeout is ridiculous!!!! No one can use an IM client like this, and its not true when the FAQ says Apple made you do it. Why do IM+, Trillian and Skype all stay connected. This is a GREAT app, I love it and I paid for it, but the 9 minute timeout makes it nearly useless. Whats the "real" reason for this and why cant it be fixed?
