Alec,
I appreciate your perspective. I smiled at your (correct) comment about progress seeming pretty jarring and unnatural. To those that have been going for years, it's the old "like boiling a frog" syndrome. You don't see it on a year-to-year basis, but if you take a break and go back, even with the horrible events like a hurricane, it does bring some things to perspective.
Ilon time is Ilon time. Injecting internet, apps, and online reservation rules just destroys that.
The rules should be simple:
1. First to the ball, gets the ball. 2. Enjoy watching others racing to get to the last ball. 3. Cheer the winner. 4. Invite them for a drink. 5. Put the **** cell phone away. You don't need an app to enjoy the BVI's
