Well, if you put it like that, I can compose a 100% symmetrical answer: As you see I really LOVE the bell. And I'm looking forward to upgrade my desktop past your commit and expecting my BELOVED bell to be turned off. Just like you, I hate idea of tweaking configuration, I want it ON by default as it used to be from the beginning of times. Unlike Slawa, I got commit bit, so I can go and turn it back on. So, yeah, looks like creating a poll about a precious bell could be a solution of this dispute. -- Gleb Smirnoff
