No more dumb than your own.

All you're doing is inverting the exception. If Myth were changed to
your liking, all those that *don't* want their recordings clipped
would have to fix their schedules to prevent it from happening.
So, the question then becomes: why are you right and Myth is wrong?
Now, speaking for myself, I explicitely *don't* want Myth clipping my
recordings. It would appear the devs take a similar stance.
Brett.
