Is it considered AFK Cloaking if I have Combat Probes out?

Just wanting to clarify....
Combat probes have a limited life span of about 2 hrs.
If I have my probes deployed to demonstrate that I'm not AFK, will that calm your fears?
Will you undock then and go back to mining, knowing that as long as my probes are visible to you I'm not AFK?

Personally I don't know why anybody would be fearful of AFK Cloaking.

Is it considered AFK cloaking if you have probes out? NO.

Is it considered bad posting to make another thread about AFK cloaking? YES.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Waste of perfectly good probes.

I think they just need to be dropped & popped. Then they needn't be in fear any longer.

As long as that is the only thing hanging out.
