Karen,

I'm not upset. I'm not sure why you are reading that I was upset. Just because someone disagrees does not mean they are upset. I used the word "complain" to describe a "complaint" that was being made. It's unfortunate this word triggers you; but that is your issue, not mine. I did not say that complaints couldn't or shouldn't be made. I did not say "you all are complaining." I said the "minor annoyance which you are all complaining of" which is very different than what you have decided to interpret. Pfrog started a thread about a COMPLAINT he has regarding people being in multiple rooms at one time. I disagree with the complaint, so I stated so. Nowhere did I label anyone a "complainer." You are putting words in my mouth and misrepresenting what I said.

Regarding members who cannot be in multiple rooms at one time: so we should limit what others can do because someone else is not capable of it? That does not make sense to me.

I think your point about people not getting responded to and feeling badly is moot as well. People are just as likely to get no response from a room that has five people in it, that are not occupied anywhere else, as they are from people who are occupied elsewhere. I've been in the Coffeehouse before and no one is in other rooms, and no one is saying anything in the Coffeehouse, it's completely silent. This happens all the time.

The main complaint here, that I read, is that people see the green arrow moving and think someone is getting ready to say something. My advice is to ignore the green arrow because it is unreliable. That is a lot simpler than taking away chat features and inhibiting other people's abilities to engage in chat.
