Thanks for the quick and straightforward response.
1. Yes, I assumed this was intentional behavior, I guess I was asking if anyone else thought this would be useful.
2. Yes, I assumed that if there was a mod that it would be in that section; as I stated, however, I had already searched the forum to no avail.
3. Yes, yes, I know. I was just being a little cheeky.
I guess I'll look into what would need to be done to add this option to my own install. If I come up with anything, of course, I'll post it here (or in the mods section).
In the mean time, if anyone else has information, please share!
