[TriLUG] OT: Hijacked Browser Typos

[Dave Sorenson]

Technically you are correct. He "could" have set it up as you suggested, 
that would have been easy. What validates my statement is with his 
requirements he would have needed to tweak it more than a standard out 
of the box configuration. Thats what I meant about more effort than he 
wanted to do.

So we are both right unless you are trolling.
