Of course we are talking about only the journalist who wish not to have a certain entry viewed publicly, correct?

In an earlier post you said:

"instead of using buddylist i though the journalist could designate for each entry who may see that entry by userid"

1. I'm not sure how this could work. Let's say the journalist has 30 people that they would allow to see the entry or comment on the entry. That would take a lot of work to add them individually.

2. If the journalist has a buddy list, and he/she has the option of saying yes/no to the people on his buddy list viewing a particular entry, then that seems a more efficient way to do it. If they don't want someone on their buddy list to view their entries, then they could take them off the list as a buddy.

3. I like your idea of it being on a per entry basis.

4. It is your hack, your hard work. I think it would be nice if this could some how be left to the journalist as their option...but that is your decision. I totally respect that you should do what you think is best.

And I thank you for being open to suggestions!
