That is what the Defaults.py file is for. The defaults as shipped were chosen by the developers. We should assume that they were chosen for good, logical reasons that apply to the majority of installations. But if you don't like the defaults or have a reason to choose a different setting, you can change them at your own risk either through configuring each list or by overriding the setting in mm_cfg.py Open source projects are never going to have documentation to the standard you want. Unless you or somebody else is willing to take on that large project, continuing to harp on the subject is only going to serve to annoy people. The fact that this software is made available to the community free of charge is a gift to the community. The fact that people like Brad and Mark and others are willing to expend large amounts of their time responding to queries here should be taken as what it is, another gift to the community. I think they have gone above and beyond the call of duty in this discussion and I am amazed at the restraint they have shown.
