fine, but that ignores jims point, which is why i replied to begin

ignoring that, (and the de facto standard of the marketplace).

maybe so...  i never said the feature should be removed, merely
optional.  it certainly seems to add a lot of complexity however.

i don't see why its so crucial for SBS to know something is a comp to
begin with?  do you really want all your comps in one big generic
category?
