Field auto-complete is annoying

Brad, my apologies if I misunderstood your intent (which seems clear).

While I do agree that Safari's auto-complete has some flaws / areas where
it could be even better, I don't personally find it "dangerous", I find it
"helpful" and "faster than OmniWeb" in my daily use.

While Safari regularly doesn't do exactly what I want, until someone writes
the "read my mind" feature into a browser, nothing will do exactly what I
want. OmniWeb, in contrast, usually does less things "wrong," primarily
because it simply does "less." As in "less useful."

OK, back to lurk mode for me.
