I'm not sure that anyone is particularly bothered by it.  As the one who
started this little sub-thread I'm certainly not.  I'm just happy to
have the feature.

I just wanted to be sure that the interface I would have chosen after
about two seconds of consideration had been rejected after at least a
similar amount of deliberation.  That seems to have been the case.

And yes, is was the "sub" which initially hit me when I read the
annoucement and struck me as slighly out of place.

I only really replied since I had a couple of minutes whilst waiting for
something to complete.  Blame the slow server I'm developing on.  The
whole thing is probably down to that butterfly in Brazil that just won't
stop flappings its wings.
