Yeah, sorry for the misinformation before. Here is the a good way
to remember the modes. The most part, PaGP is either auto or
desirable. Or you can just turn the pesky thing on or
off. (non-PaGp). Of course it will only work if you are both on if you
choose the non-PaGp mode. As for knowing the right compatibility, remember
that desirable people are also aggressive. :) Two aggressive people can
communicate. Auto is passive. Two passive people cannot communicate. One
aggressive and one passive can communicate as well. Just think of an
aggressive desirable as those players. (male or female). Those nice guys
and girls who are passive just never get with anyone. :) Sorry, I just
immediately jumped the gun and assumed you chose the two passive case
without really reading carefully and remembering my own rules. :( Very
bad form, I do not blame anyone for not believing me after such a blunder.
You cannot do both as desirable. One must be desirable and the
other auto. Or you can try forcing the modes to "on" and "on". That might
fix it!
