And my point is that it's a better way, so no apology should be needed. It's true most people just go with the defaults, which is why I said it ought to be the default. The "better but oddball" way today has a way of becoming the "default and therefore common" way tomorrow. It'd only take one person at Apple/Google/Microsoft to change this and every website would update their landing page within the week. Anyway, what's the overlap between HN and SO? This used to be exactly the sort of thing where replies would say something like "Most non-technical people don't do this" (or some self-deprecating or pejorative synonym for that), except SO is clearly for highly technical people so we're having to try to slice that pie even thinner to keep it from collapsing into a tautology.
