Great idea! I am forwarding to my team.

I do want to mention that sometimes we may hear or view something out of context, then assume it was un-GP.

For example; my glasses broke on Sat. morning. Our team was near the top of the stands and all I could see was blogs and blurs on the field. While my son was in the pit trying to fix my glasses, I wandered down to a team sitting in the first several rows, and asked if I borrow seat to see our team's upcoming match. They agreed.

As our kids prepared to take the field, a mentors turned and said (with a smile) "You are just sitting here the one match, right?". My son, as he was returning with my fixed glasses, overheard the comment and jumped to the conclusion that I was being given a hard time. I assured my son that everything was fine, it was just adult's friendly banter. By missing the "smile and wink", my son took something out of context. After the match, I went back to my team and had to explain the "real story"; that GP was still alive and well.

Several unGP displays are unfortunately accurate. However, *sometimes* there is another side.

And I love the "how's my GP?" buttons as well as "appreciation" buttons.
