Ivy intended to lock it after she posted her long response to numerous concerns on the buddy system; my post just happened to be posted two seconds late after she posted hers. [shrug] Make of it what you will.
Thank you for understanding Elegost. We appreciate your cooperation, we are in no way discouraging any suggestions, questions or comments. In fact, we encourage it for better community participation and cooperation. But there is no perfect system, nor any ultimate compromise for every situation. We'll always come upon problems, but we can always overcome with the right communication skills and understanding.
I'd like to thank all the other members who have contributed in their concerns about the new buddy system.
It's good to know you all care.
