That's easy to say if you start from scratch. We're not. I agree with Adam it's unproductive to lecture. I have to support whatever is already there. You seem to suggest I don't look at the user experience, and that's annoying, because I really do, a lot. But I have to fit that into what already exists, both for the UI (user experience) and the implementation, and I try to do that as good as possible, which is hard. And my point was also about user experience. I really think Lite and Premium are subsettings, rather than primary settings, and I mean that from the user POV, not just from the implementation POV (they really are not contradictory). And the UI should reflect that.
