 I see this as a cop-out for poor development and a failure to meet the
 requests of your userbase.  I can't do anything more appropriate than
 complain since I'm unwilling to fork, so that's what I'll do.

 I'd encourage you to add an "Advanced Preferences" tab/option for features
 such as this.  This would allow you to meet the needs of your every-day
 stupid userbase as well as the highly educated userbase.  Otherwise, you
 risk offending one or the other.

 Unrelated comments;

 I'm pleased to see some ongoing development of this very important piece
 of software, which had gone dormant for a rather long period of time.  I
 am aware of the legal issues with AOL and the name change.
