Indeed, a very good thing. Over several years, I've seen only a handful of times when a message will come up which says something like: "Your buddy list is currently unavailable but hasn't been lost" and usually logging out and back in solves it, and it has never been lost. Still, I keep an "exported" copy around whenever I remember to make an updated one, just in case. TjL
