You obviously have very strong opinions about how you think portmaster should operate, however you don't seem to be listening to my response. So I'll say it one more time then I'll leave it alone. No matter how strongly one user, or one group of users feels that their idea of how a tool should operate is The Right Way, there will always be other users who feel differently. Given that I also prefer "to not have tools that try to 'think' about what I'm doing," when a situation is ambiguous portmaster prompts the user. Doug
