It's no so much that I care about it being on or off; I just don't
think it's our place to dictate the option one way or another.

If this were to become optional, it would be unfair to the users to
make it a site-wide setting.  The best thing to do would be to make it
a per-user preference.

And that leads me to my point: It already _is_ a per-user preference;
in their browser.

You points with regard to other sites leaving this setting up to the
browser are also quite valid, Alexander.
