Sorry Marc, it's not like me to get my back up but that's just Nasty and
completely needless!  Having a bad day are we.  Perhaps you need the
fresh air and take a chill pill while you're at it.

It's not for the developers to dictate how an end-user should do

sighted.  And if I misread your intent, I apologise in advance, it just
sounded rude to me and I like to stick up for the little guy. :)
