The only cranks I see around here are all colleagues. :-P

I don't see a conflict with what I wrote; that's a deliberated[sic]
strategy on your part.  I don't think I've ever done that wholesale
(there's almost always at least one line of my own I want to keep :-),
but you're right, it's often worth experimenting with the distro's
suggested configuration you you don't understand the app's behavior --
it does occasionally resolve a problem, and often enough to be worth
doing on purpose.
