Im saying, its hard to do... its not as simple as people think. I dare say,
eventually, it will be put in... but things do get put in a queue, and at
the moment its behind 5.0....

I did (try) talking with a few AWI'ers about this a month or 2 back...
nothing really happened. Would be nice though.

Would take up royal s**tloads of processing power server side checking each

But Andras' idea is great... why not allow a bit mask for the attributes to

they can say that that session has PS regardless of if they have spoken yet.
