This is a good point, although I still would like a lot more granularity 
in my decision making.  The ability to set an override *once*, will save 
me hundreds of hours a year in listmeister time.

At the same time, I agree the current interface is clunky, fugly, and 
slower that gardenias blossoming under heavy doses of fertilizer. But I 
love it just the same.

Interestingly, I would place it at #2 on my list, as getting #1 will 
by definition allow me to enjoy #2, but without #1, #2 doesnt matter.
