Dear John,
I agree with you in part and would prefer to keep the settings as
they were. However, my impression (and it is just an impression) is
that most people in the list have a preference for the new settings.
What I propose then, is that those who have an opinion on this matter
send a public message to the list stating their position (even those
of you who already have sent me a private message). We could count
votes the last day of March and see what the majority prefers. How
does this proposal sound?
