I agree 100% and would like to see this implemented.  If others don't
like it, then don't use it.  I would like to play public but never
have because I used to be an old mud player.  Pking got out of hand in
mud games.  I sent many emails to Blizzard about the exact same issue
in Oct of 96 when they were beta testing battle.net .  Otherwise I
only play/hold private games.  I don't bother with chat rooms to feel
out other players because there is about a 10:1 ratio of idiots to
descent people.  Hopefully, Bilzzard will write a patch that will
allow these new features.
