OK, got it. Sorry for the confusion and defensiveness -- when this conversation started some days back, I got the sense that S.W. and his buddies were all in lockstep with their "It's a great feature, so there's no reason to turn it off" brigade. Wanted to make sure where you were coming from, hence the request for clarification. > Now, if you believe that my premise here (that S. Woodside's original > statement does not support the no-type-ahead-find-preferences policy) Yep. We agree. > I, on the other hand, entered hoping to maintain intelligent > discussion on an important topic (the proper balance of simplicity vs. > configurability) -- I no longer maintain this "optimistic appraisal of > the situation." Well, me too -- it is a crucial aspect of the development of any app, and ought to be discussed freely and frequently. Appearances aside, it is not my desire or goal to pin Woodside or anyone else to the wall. That's just a byproduct of what I suppose is a bit of an uphill struggle to get Woodside et al to realise that their opinions and guesses do not constitute uppercase-T Truth on the matter.
