I do not see a contradiction between using spaced repetition, which I want, and preventing access to decks. You fail to explain how those two concepts naturally exclude each other by their very nature. My failure to understand has nothing to do with being obviously not technically inclined at all, as you say. Do me a favour--don't respond. I will uninstall this program and I will switch to Anki.
