I think I found it in the planetAvP forums.  When I first tried it I
thought perhaps I was being put on.  But it does work.
I used to have a friend who was a chef who got pissed off whenever he
saw someone add salt to the food he had prepared, said he wished the
restaurant wouldn't put salt on the tables.  I told him he was a moron.
I feel the same way about game designers and brightness controls.
