I think sometimes we just think too much-over think and get off track. It happens a lot because we tend to be so passionate about certain aspects of the hobby. I'm not judging. Count me in as well. Guilty as charged.
I say that because if you read BigLock's initial thread (he started) it simply asks what we (each one of us individually) prefers. Instead of just answering his request, some or most of us turn it into a political football and kick the air right out of it. I approached it from a bit of a different angle by stating my preferences only hold all of its water in my own little world. I.E., solitaire. If I step of my porch to play w/another coach then I have to be willing to set my personal preferences aside to some reasonable degree. So in my attempt to explain my preferences and their severe limitations, I also kicked a ball into play that was not asked for. I probably should have practiced better netiquette and answered the question, period. THEN started a separate thread to go into other (than what he requested) subject matter if I felt the need..............
I didn't exactly do that. My apologies to BigLock.

I hope you eventually got the info you requested.
