Thanks, Gene - that is a valid point. However, I have given it a
decent shot to prove its usefulness to me (to me), and for my needs it
is just more aggravating than useful at this point. But, of course,
each individual is certainly entitled to his/her own sense of
usefulness, and also, I might change my mind about it down the line,
you never know!! ))

Seems to me that usefulness has different meanings and applications
for different people, Bob, and your own knee jerk reaction that I had
a knee jerk reaction to kill/disable the feature is a bit silly, I
think, since you don't know what my usage and reasoning is, and it
makes you sound rather judgmental instead of helpful. Learning is
good, getting bitter is pointless. A good thing to keep in mind while
you watch, perhaps?
