I'm not saying we should change it entirely, but to just remove the
un-necessary "My"s that are appearing everywhere. It won't be long before we
have "My Favorites" and "My Outlook Express" and "My Internet Explorer"...

Just a preference really, but I've had 3 people agree that "My" is
un-necessary. It's no biggie, just wondered what everyone else thinks?
