Re: an LM update

[James E. Bailey]

I realise it's only been a week since this was last discussed, but:
a) no one who can say whether or not this can be implemented has  
responded (ever)
b) it's an open issue since apparently October. I just added it as a  
user feature request.
c) Can we just make the change so that more people aren't confused by  
the issue. (I've answered another question related to this in the  
last week)

While we're on the subject, can I put in my two cents that voices  
don't just up and die when they don't have anything to do? Having to  
keep voices alive is sometimes annoying.
