Well, I'm not going to argue a useless point just like RR's .. I quote
from experience with my over 18,000 users that don't want the feature
and DO consider it an intrusive feature. Also, my 8,000 users in the
corporate enterprise that don't want it either. My servers are RR disabled.
Now, that's not to say that YOUR users do, in fact, want and use the
feature. I'll concede that point of course. In the PD it's useless and
intrusive.
