I /really/ want to see a UI mockup for this one. It needs to be
a) easy for the casual diver
b) easy for the active diver with lots and lots of buddies
c) not cause a massive waste of screen real estate for the complex case
that confuses the simple case

I claim that the current solution achieves all three. I have more than
two dozen buddies and more than a dozen different combinations of
buddies in my buddy list. And it usually takes me a couple of letters
and maybe a few cursor-downs to get to whatever group I'm diving
with. Or I have to type them in anew because I haven't been diving with
this particular group before. All this is very easy and straight
forward.
