Hi Sean,

Thanks for the feedback -

I've raised this with Mark Blair before on this list and it's
something that bugs him also.

Good to know - in this case does adding it to wish help - i.e. is it
counted as a vote or is it just marked as a duplicate?

I'll get on to Tim.

I see your point on this - however it's a minor annoyance which bugs
you when you run up against it (like tonight - checking 4 different
sites on my local machine before doing a migration).  Also - working
for a small company means costs like this are difficult to justify -
particularly if it's for multiple developers.

Thanks for your help.
Mark
