Comment 74 for bug 615300

quote::Terrible idea. Moving to linux was supposed to be an escape from this kind of trashy behavior.

What trashy behaviour? If this was Mac or Windows you wouldn't know about it until after you had been already sending emails with this feature enabled, and you would have a snowballs chance of turning it off.

This is Linux and Free Software, you are not only told about it before the fact (should it, hopefully, ever become a fact), but are able to discuss it on a forum that gives you a direct line to the developers.

In addition, because this is Linux and Free Software, even if it is developed, and implemented (in spite of a very vocal minority), it will be easily accessible, easily turned off or on, as you choose.

I fail to understand how flagging an idea (a really good one in this case) in an open and public manner, so that the users of the system can both know about the idea, and comment on it, can be considered trashy behaviour.
