No, Patrick, the interface at e-gold.com did not always force you to choose units.
Previously, and you may remember the discussion on this list or visit the archive to check, the user community "voted" to have "grams" be the default unit for e-gold spends.
Well, one of the exchangers recently spent a few hundred grams when he meant to spend a few hundred dollars worth of gold. It wasn't me, and I won't name names as it is a little embarrassing. Obviously, we are all human, and errors happen.
By having the system to default to "choose" instead of to "grams" this particular error is less likely.
So, Frank is right to be enthusiastic. And, you aren't missing much - just a little history.
I suppose this would be a good time to point out that counting noses never helped anything. <smile>
