It's important to have the option, I agree, and I'm glad FS has made it
available. But generally speaking, I am visiting a site and want to plough
through it as quickly as possible for a specific nugget of information: in
and out as quickly as I can. For me, having it off by default, then
turning it on should it be necessary, is a preference. I have no qualm
with the fact that the reverse is the default, provided I can change it,
which I can. It's strictly a preferential thing, and again JFW shows its
strength in its flexibility.
