I've already told you my problem with it. It doesn't ASK if you want it
installed. Sure, you can get rid of it with one keypress, kinda the same way
you can get rid of any windows program with one mouse click (uninstall
feature). Outlook Express is not "fully functional" either until you input
the server information. IE is not fully functional until you specify the
network settings. Those too are 95% pre-installed, and can be removed with a
single mouse click. I fail to see the difference.

However, wether or not me or other sysops think this is a good thing or a
bad thing is PURELY OPINION. You think it's a good thing, I don't. No one
has to agree with me and in turn, I don't have to agree with you.

One problem with alot of the peeps on DoveNet is they can't disagree. They
will push and push and push until or unless someone says "ok your right!"
just to shut them up.

It doesn't mater who is right or wrong cause in this case, no one is either.
It's simply a mater of opinion. People will spurr into an all out flamewar
on DoveNet unless someone says "ok your right!" cause "I disagree" isn't
acceptable.
