15 OK, I admit I exaggerated a bit to state a point. From the
16 perspective of having to install and use something that I hitherto
17 never needed, it involves more configuration than I would like to
18 bother myself with. A moot point I know, since additional
19 functionality brings with it additional configuration options.
20 Anyway, I have now installed PA and am using it, so it can't have been
21 all that complicated. ;p
