Comment (by seanegan):

 Replying to [comment:99 leftyfb]:
 > What you don't seem to understand is... you keep saying "give me a good
 reason why you want this feature". The fact that so many people want it is
 a good enough reason. Thats why it's called a preference.

 You are the hundredth post to this bug. About half of the posts have been
 by users complaining, and the other half by developers defending. Most of
 the comments on each side have been responses to earlier comments made by
 the same person. Very well under half the people to post to this thread
 are unique complaintants.

 Even if, however, you were to assume every post here represented a unique
 user protesting this feature, you're left with about .003% of total users
 who have a problem with this. Three out of every hundred thousand users
 have a problem with it. "So many", when put in perspecitve is an amazingly
 small minority.

 You probably have some valid points in the rest of your report. I stopped
 reading it here, since we've already declared we want to take this
 discussion to the mailing list. If you'd like to protest our design
 further, you may bring it up there.
