  Nope, 'we' won't! If you want your square wheels instead of the
standard round ones, then by all means go ahead, but don't expect
anybody to follow your (non-)lead.

  Things are organized the way they are for a reason. I gave those
reasons, which you weren't even aware of, so calling something "messy
disorganized garbage", while you don't even know how it's organized and
why it's organized that way, is plain stupid.

  Only a fool breaks things he doesn't even understand.

  And no, I do *not* "take all the defaults". Do you ever stop
misrespresenting - and lying about - people's positions!?

  Duh! You do/did/will. It's an app setting. Figure *that*!

  Complain to Google. Don't whine here about another of your
non-problems/square-wheels.

  <barf!> Spoken by the twat which doesn't even know how it's organized
and why it's organized that way.

  Earth to 'Arlen': I'm anything *but* "a basic user". The difference
between us is that I'm not some brainless Don Quichote.

  Well, at least *my* picture isn't next to the 'Dunning-Kruger effect'
entry in the encyclopedia.
