I don't mind them adding attendees, that is good to have. Saves a lot of 
work when you make some event where you know who you have to send 
information about, and you can insert attendees there, and they receive 
automatically mails about it.

What causes problems actually is when you try to insert someone directly 
without him being in your addressbook, and freebusy url properly set 
there. I tried to make some searches from Internet what places use 
Free/Busy url, and all was about horde... So it is enough to have some 
'external' email, from someone out of current system not using 
kronolith, and we are having same errors.

So I would like to keep attendees page, but remove this Free/Busy 
information checks and displays from there. Most ideal would be if user 
can be given some preference option Do you want to use Free/Busy Urls, 
Don't you want to use them. Then it would be easy to default it off, and 
those who don't wish such options aren't bothered with functions not 
working for them... (And it looks quite bad too. I'm working on laptop, 
and when I add up 10 or so attendees without free/busy info, half of my 
screen is full of error messages about it...)

I hope this clears what I was trying to say at first place :)
