It's amazing you've stayed married this long...  Are you actually trying to use 
the "I'm not taking about what happens if do you do or don't check the 
checkbox, but only what the checkbox text says" as support for your argument?  
I understand the "use TCP if HTTP fails" logic (though they still could have 
worded it better.  I'm saying that even when you *don't* check that, it *does 
it* anyway.  You know, after all this, I think I will indeed follow your advice 
and talk to my kids about it.  Even the 6 year old listens ;)))))
