I am cutting down on my 'edit game' usage... I'm not going to improve my
visualisations skills if I keep using that!
Whilst I would miss it a bit, I would not be too bothered if the feature was
disabled whilst playing. To me it would be like hiding a smoker's cigarettes
while he is trying to quit. ; )
On another matter, I seem to have accidentally subscribed twice or
something, as I am receiving duplicates of every post on the list.
