Let's see,  this is the second or third time on this list where the 
word "ungrateful" has popped up in response to something that I've posted.

Things are _taken away_ that used to be there  that I _used_,  and I'm 
supposed to be grateful?  Other things get added,  that eat up my time and 
machine resources and that don't need doing in the first place (such as 
automatic compacting of archival folders that never ever need it in the first 
place),  and I'm supposed to be grateful?

One of us is missing something here.
