Sounds like alot of people do not want the ALL feature (or maybe it is an unwanted feature).

Still I did suggest that ALL could be configurable on a per user basis. But what the initial state of that feature should be is unclear (on or off for newbies).

I will send John Robinson a private reply that this seems to be an issue. I think John and Jim have done a great job with FreeRepublic. In my humble opinion, I think the Founding Fathers of this great nation would be very proud to see what John and Jim (and many others have done) with FreeRepublic.

I am certainly not a complainer, however, I really do not like the "all" in my self-search.

I'll concurr on that, that said FR is still better than all of the rest - Thanks Guys & Gals.
