My fault to use that hyperbolic analogy, what I really meant is that I don't like software which (I feel that) becomes overprotecting at the cost of reduced flexibility. Unluckly my English is quite "Italian" and many times I don't seem to have a successful communication of my thoughts. This seems to creep in also at this point:
I don't see much point in also having a separate link to the author you are replying to, just FYI.
I agree, there's no point in linking the author - I'd like two links, one to the message I'm commenting on, the other to the root message of the thread. Unluckily again, OP seems an overloaded abbreviation, and I meant the "Original Post", not the "Original Poster".

But I'm happy that I made something good, at least, with my counter-proposal on User Settings. If others like the idea, I'm confident it'll not be thrown in /dev/null.

Flavio (perl -e 'print(scalar(reverse("\nti.xittelop\@oivalf")))')

Don't fool yourself.
