I think that a few users will be fairly confused by it. Whopp di doo , |
| 18 |
no biggie. |

However, I like the idea, quite a lot really. It would allow us |
| 21 |
developers who really know whats best for the user, even if they insist |
| 22 |
on "choices" and all that, to throw out a decent default. We do that |
| 23 |
for the whole system, and lets face it. Users shouldn't need to make a |
| 24 |
lot of choices just to get decent defaults. Choices come after this. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
( Repeat after me: users shouldnt -have- to make choices. They should |
| 27 |
have the possibility to make choices. ) |
