I would say that I don't remember seeing that option before ;)
All right I probably need to re-read all the help files again, but a lot has 
changed since I first registered back in 2005, and while it may be obvious for 
the people creating these changes and people registering nowadays, my little 
rant was more a comment on the fact that there is not a clean notification on 
some of these changes and how they affect 'old timers'. One gets used to a way 
of working and when something changes. On other projects we do at least get a 
crib sheet on how do do things 'the new way' and -that- needs to be addressed 
before changing the default.
