^^^ exactlyGuys/Gals is this really an issue? You can send your person anonymous questions if you need help coming up with ideas, pretty simple really.
Personally, I like the change, it definitely changes the focus, & I'm just happy for anything, no it doesn't have to be fish/coral related.
I made a list regarless of the rules, I know im gonna participate and if the person that picked my name doesn't come thru so be it.
Going back and forth about the new rules is a bit petty IMHO
You can contact secretly your matched name and ask that way if you don't feel like digging around, which I get it because I don't have much time my self either.
Just have fun with it and go from there, it ain't that serious.
