I was just saying I am not so sure the most common bookmark user uses
the bookmark on exit.

Also changing what a new user gets vs an upgrade is not usually a
good idea.  What if I want to setup another frontend.  Now it behaves
differently and I have to go spend a bunch of effort to figure out why
the heck this is and how to fix it.

I would think that would be very confusing.  I think people expect
playback to start from the beginning in general when they select a
recording.  Not a good default to change.

Do not assume single users.  Most households have multiple users who
may watch the same show at different times.

I think the current defaults that have been around for years are good,
and the suggested changes to the defaults are not.
