 can see, the inability to hide the groups makes it completely impossible
 to position buddies without regard to protocol -- which is the crux of the
 whole problem.

 I'm sorry, but obviously one of us is not understanding the other, and I
 frankly don't know who.

 Pretend I'm thick for a minute, and explain to me how I can position two
 Yahoo buddies in my buddies list from my single Yahoo account, with a
 single Google Chat buddy '''in between them'''.

 That's what you implied that you can do, when you said that you can
 "position buddies regardless of their protocol/account connection"

 If you can't explain how to do that, then your previous statement was
 misleading, because buddy positioning is limited by protocol / account
 connection, and cannot be changed regardless of this.

 If your comment was accurate and you *can* explain how to do it though,
 then there are going to be a number of happy people in this thread, me
 included.
