Right. ME does make sense as a feature for sysadmins. Except . . . . Well, can you shed light on the following: 1. Why did your team deem it necessary to deny the end-user the capability to disable this feature? 2. Why did your team decide

It's 2017, and in the current sociopolitical milieu, it may be regarded as "abuse" to unilaterally remove television from the home against the wishes of your spouse and/or kids. I would love to do this as well, as I harb
