Sorry Bob for deleting you response in my first reply.  Your explanation is spot

Folks,

After reading all the posts to date on this topic, I have decided what my
opinion is:

Go ahead and change it, but if you do, please add another feature that allows
myself and others who would surely not like it at all, to turn the "feature"
off.

I'm a 63 year old, 46 year CW operator and CW SWL buff, military trained.
