Matt, I've said it before here and I'll say it again. You're an excellent communicator and your post was spot-on. Having discussed the transpositioning issues with you and others recently, I was especially agreeable to your comments about this feature.

I think this particular feature is absolutely the right thing to have added and it will no doubt work for other scenarios like this in the future.

I can relate from one point of view ... that this will undoubtedly make some programmer happy for all the hard coded messages they'll not need to maintain.

I was thinking ... I liken it to a kind of private message center -- where the program (and potentially the PG staff) can get information out to the users quickly. Not everyone will follow the forums every day or keep in touch with the website. So, this might be the ideal 'BiaB Instant Messenger' for anything that needs to be conveyed immediately to every BiaB user.
