Hi, Lorna:

I turn off most edit warnings, but I wish there were one edit warning that would pop up when I even *think* about changing the Tag Type from a Tag window:

NO, NO, YOU FOOL, YOU FOOL!!!

I have twice lost all my carefully crafted other witness Role assignments due to an inadvertent action during Tag Type edit from a Tag screen. In both cases I was actually just trying to *LOOK* at the Tag Type contents. The second time I figured out what had happened. I will not use that feature again.
