You and most everyone else in this thread are getting upset and wasting time on a very minor thing that you can easily fix by paying attention and unchecking the boxes.

There is however a huge, very nasty, extremely worrisome plan on the part of most major ISPs in the USA (and all three major ones in England already) to screw you up one side and down the other and inside and out. Where are all the protests about Phorm? How many of you in this thread even know what that is...even vaguely know... much less have studied this major threat to the internet and users privacy in depth? Your energies should be directed to something truly important that if not stopped dead in its tracks soon will dramatically change the internet as we know it forever. We in the USA have no laws to protect our citizens from Phorm being used by the ISPs. Even in England where there are privacy laws it is a current major uphill battle.

The above may seem OT on the surface but it isn't because I am trying to make an important point here. Save your energy and protests for something that really matters and needs your help, your attention, your outrage. Don't sweat the small stuff.
Since when a discussion of something suddenly becomes a protest or something that is pointless? A forum is a place of discussion, and it seems like that is what is happening here. Does it really matter how big or a small a topic is, as long as it's a topic and people are discussing it? No one (at least that I am aware of) was making some huge point about it one way or another, and trying to make sure some strong action was taken or something like that--it was simply being pointed out and discussed.
