your argument is true. the question, however, is not whether it breaks
consistancy (it does, that's why I initially opted against this), but
whether it's worth it.

and only some real-life tests on real users will reveal that. no amount of
guessing  or book-reading will answer that question for us.

sun (? I believe it was sun) posted a very, very good overview about scopes
and menus. as long as we stay anywhere close to this idea, Preferences does
clearly belong in tmfkap.

looking at  the fact that several people, each one (I guess) with an iq
above that of a vegetable are seriously discussing  this idea, I think your
comment does more damage to  you  than to the idea. really, bowie. we don't
need to get childish or insulting, it doesn't help.
