kdf, I understand exactly what you're saying... I showed the post to my
wife and she looked at me as if it was written in a lost ancient

understand the modularity that plugins bring into the mix... I just
don't find this specific function of the server to be very user
friendly. I can live with its complexity, but I assure you that others
find it confusing.
