20 characters != defined value (0 - 1200). would you agree?

gadugadu transport shows, so with this you can kill it

appearently - from what I know - it's not 0.01% of  users....

BTW. Why you claim to know how (best) roster should looks like? I think
such things should be configurable BY the user, and not FOR the user.
There's no 'one sense of humour', etc. And there cannot exist something
like 'one good roster, that will saticfie ALL users'....

I agree, that to many new options at one time is a bad idea - users may
be shocked. But with time - bigger number of options - bigger chance
user will be able to configure software like HE/SHE WANTS...

Atleast - I think so.
