But anyway, despite seeming to be "flying the flag" for "more", I actually don't mind either way. It's not because the changes won't affect me. I humbly like to think my responses to such questions are for the overall good. In this case, "less" is similar enough to "more" (and arguably better) that it's not a bad change to make. Old farts like me who prefer the old "more" can continue to set it - those who don't care, or don't know, will not be negatively effected. I know I'm just some random guy on the internet, but I thought I'd throw in my 2 cents as there may be others with a similar philosophy on these types of changes. Cheers, Jamie
