please resend your patches...

Sorry,

with the heat in Mexico, missing A/C the first day and some internet
problem I'm a bit behind on email...

That was applied and pushed out.

So we agreed that they were making some interesting assumptions and that
what was shown was not entirely logical, but I thought we left it at
"well, it seems to make intuitive sense to the users, maybe we should try
to create something like that".

So while I'm not 100% sure this is a must have feature, I still think it
would be a nice addition and it would be something that many tech divers
are familiar with.


Your time, your work, up to you. If you implement something like that, I'm
certainly eager to take it.
