please take me off your distribution list as I am no longer researching this.
thank you Michael George Hotelling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Nick, Thanks for your warning about deleting the bookmarks. I was very happy that the extension offered to restore my original bookmarks when I uninstalled and didn't accidentally wipe out all my del.icio.us bookmarks. It looks like there's a lot of cool things going on in this extension, I'm hoping to give it a closer look when I'm ready to have my local bookmarks replaced with my del.icio.us ones. It's an intriguing idea, replacing the browser's bookmarking function with a del.icio.us client. However, when I installed the extension I was incredibly frustrated that my browser was locked up for 40 minutes syncing with del.icio.us. I didn't want to uninstall or quit the browser mid-sync for fear of corrupting my user profile (although I've heard anecdotally that uninstalling during the sync works fine). If I had been asked "Do you want to sync with del.icio.us now? (this may take a while if you have a lot of bookmarks)" I would have clicked no, and either synced later or gone and found the original del.icio.us extension you linked to. I'm not trying to berate anyone, but to express my frustration and offer a suggestion to make things easier on future users.
