Thank god! I got that dialog again...

Thanks for that bit of saving info. But I think the more important
question here is why does it say go nuts with the options submitted
(which you can't go back and make config) if there's these traps in
there. Perhaps it should say don't change them unless you know what
you're in for (or doing)?

Cheers!
