Button movement in Party Sit and Gos

If that's how it happened, that's messed up. There should've been a hand between #2 and #3 that looked like:

100/200 TourneyTexasHTGameTable (NL) (Tournament 10992923) - Mon Apr 04 00:22:58 EDT 2005
Table Table 16570 (Real Money) -- Seat 10 is the button
Total number of players : 8
Seat 2: kvazar (1775)
Seat 3: rob42359 (2165)
Seat 5: norge1 (1410)
Seat 6: BelochKa (635)
Seat 7: BoiledOver (740)
Seat 8: aks47 (1015)
Seat 9: tahoerog (1425)
Seat 10: TEVOLVER (835)
kvazar posts small blind (50)
rob42359 posts big blind (100)
** Dealing down cards **

The button would technically be on seat 1, but since that seat busted, it would revert back to seat 10.

Well I know how it should be, but what happened above with 1 player missing the big and one missing the small happens at least once every 1 or 2 sit and goes I play and in a decent portion of the multitables as well. You just learn to accept that it happens if you want to continue playing on party.
I actually have no problem with how they handled the situation where the button moved backward if it wasn't for the fact that they handle this much more common situation the way they do. Essentially the answer I got from party support after about five emails on the subject was in the button moving backward situation we did that so everyone had to pay their blinds, in the other more common situation since no one in the button/sb/bb area was eliminated on the 2nd hand we don't bother with checking for blind accuracy and just advance the button one spot.

I take it all back -- it just happened to me.

This one really pissed me off because I expected to have one more hand before the BB hit me (guess I should've pushed with my Q).

I'll mail this to Party as well. Maybe if enough people do it, eventually they'll realize that it's wrong.

Yeah, that is not right, the button should have stayed with seat 8, and seat 4 taken the BB and two taken the SB, seat two skipped a blind.
