Creating a new account copies the transport of the default account. For
"copied" accounts, you'd want to choose "None" for the source. That's 2
thirds of everything already filled out for you.

There's no need for a Copy. It's just extra cruft that doesn't need to
be there (especially since the only part not defaulted for you is the
part you want to change - ie the identity info).

The reason it copies the default transport config is just for this very
reason, so people could create null accounts and only change the
identity page.

(yes, I thought of everything...didn't I? hah)
