Hi Dave,

It is good to have a competing view. So thanks for you input. I guess it's a trade-off. I've never been a fan of plugins that can potentially get in the way of the access tools that people already use. They may well help some people but hinder others.

The second category is not necessarily bad, and shouldn't be summarily dismissed.
