That is not a good way to decide which features to include. You have asked people to give important information about what works well or badly for each of them. That is a useful thing to do, because using their responses it may be possible to figure out a solution that works ok for all users, or nearly all users. It may also be possible to figure out a good rule for choosing between one behavior and another. That could work well for everyone. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
