Hi, Colin and Martin.  It just feels like a sledgehammer to crack a nut.  I 
have my aggregation settings as I like them, just as with earlier releases I 
had my default settings as I like them.  Yes, I know I can change them, but 
that doesn't feel to be the 'quick and dirty' temporary change that I want.  
I'll use it if there's no direct equivalent of the old way, but it's simply 
not as convenient.

This isn't something I need to do often - just when memory fails me, and I 
can't remember the subject of what I'm looking for.  Maybe I can remember who 
posted it - or maybe I can only remember that it was received just before 
lunch yesterday :-)  Worry not - age does this to you - your turn will come 
;-)
