Jim,
on more public (high traffic) boards you would be correct. But the folks
here are very good, considerate and knowledgeble. No one replied to the
message until I asked them to do so after approximately 24 hours. Thank you
folks!
Darrin,
For the most part you are correct. The evil I refer to is changing a well,
known, common behaviour with no option to restore it and no mention of doing
so. I am sorry if you disagree, but to me that is evil. Granted not as
evil and many other things, but the kind of evil that costs people time and
money to investigate and gives no option to revert to the more accepted
behaviour. An example to the contrary. Many of the change made to Firefox
2 were not acceptable to some of us. But Mozilla told what they had changed
and it was soon revealed that many of the changes could be backed out by the
user changing values in about:config. Google COULD have made a simple
option here like virtually every email client does but they chose not to.
