I am a new part who only came into being sometime last year. We have lost parts, we thought some were dead, but I can talk to several of the others. We could never talk to each other before & I can`t talk to the youngers. We don`t know what this MEANS, if anything. Maybe olders` trying to merge. They never wanted to before, so who knows.
Don`t think you all should try to integrate unwilling parts, it has to be a consensus decision I think.
