This is the part that blows my mind - how may "workarounds" have been
suggested to modify the default behaviour to perform as people want it to?
This must be the third such response to my posts alone!
I mean, I know we're all admins by trade and our *job* is to come up with
unique and specific solutions to problems, but holy crap! How many people
have to work around this "feature" before the decision is made that,
perhaps, it isn't so much of a "feature" after all? :)
