The question is really: What's wrong with what I consider the default? Which is a slightly rude question, as it presupposes that everyone will consider it the default answer. Any number of replies can be made, starting with: - I didn't know about that. What's good about it? - I knew about that and wanted to know if there was something superior. - I don't consider that a good default. What makes it good here? - I don't consider that a good choice at all and so on. -dsr-
