+Notes: 
+
+ABOOK_FLAGS_BLOCKED - Bi-directional communications with this channel are blocked, regardless of other permissions. 
+
+ABOOK_FLAGS_IGNORED - Incoming communications from this channel are blocked, regardless of other permissions.  
+
+ABOOK_FLAGS_HIDDEN - This connection will not be shown as a connection to anybody but the channel owner
+
+ABOOK_FLAGS_ARCHIVED - This connection is likely non-functioning and the entry and conversations are preserved, but further polled communications will not be attempted. 
+
+ABOOK_FLAGS_PENDING - A connection request was received from this channel but has not been approved by the channel owner, public communications may still be visible but no additional permissions have been granted. 
+
+ABOOK_FLAGS_UNCONNECTED - currently unused. Projected usage is to indicate "one-way" connections which were insitgated on this end but are still pending on the remote end. 
+
+ABOOK_FLAGS_SELF is a special case where the owner is the target. Every channel has one abook entry with ABOOK_FLAGS_SELF with a target abook_xchan set to channel.channel_hash . When this flag is present, abook_my_perms is the default permissions granted to all new connections and several other fields are unused.
+
+ABOOK_FLAGS_FEED - indicates this connection is an RSS/Atom feed and may trigger special handling.
