Neither do I, I wonder who does?

Yes, I see, as I said, I am looking with newbie eyes.

I am always installing and evaluating interesting looking software.

The first thing I do is browse the top level menu offerings for clues
as to what the program is about.

Having these menus populated with options which don't matter and aren't
used doesn't give me a good first impression.

The the motivation for my original post was not;
"How do I solve this problem"
but
"Must this problem exist?"

It's all about priorities.
I am trying to advocate for those coming to Leo for the first time.

Thanks,
Kent
