Yes...DudleyD....you are welcome to take over the role of ringleader, I will be happy to follow anyone who comes up with additional means of pressuring QBO to LISTEN and ACT in any sort of helpful way.  I submitted my first gear feedback in this series just now.  Will continue to do so as suggested and I hope everyone gets on board.  It would be a freakin' miracle if QBO actually responded in a useful modification and gave us the CHOICE for defaulting to Classic instead of Modern View, but hey, hope springs eternal.  I'm in.
