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. -- "When you feel like life's gonna take a turn for the worse, press F6.."
