You can probaly predict my philosophical reply. :-) Do you want a clock that sometimes runs 5 minutes late and sometimes 5 minutes early? Or do you want a clock that always runs 30 minutes late? Or to use the universal car analogy again: do you want a car that sometimes runs? >If user control is the keyword, doesn't that undermine your argument? > >After all, they can press clear hash of they want to. But you're pressing >it for them even if they dont want. Good point, though I'd prefer a [keep hash] button. Better is Yace's approach that Uri just mentioned, especially if it's controlled by a [keep summaries] button. Even better would be to be able to force positions and values. That's the future for interactive analysis IMHO. Sticky TT is just an intermediate patch that will hopefully soon be a thing of the past. ... Johan
