I'm not sure I agree.  It doesn't matter what creates it, it needs
created.  Go back before DJ created the patch to setup and take a look
at the mail list.  It's a needed item, setup does it now.  It's a living
method.  It needs a modification, so just modify it.  I would; but,
Robert, you've it already in your sandbox and it's such a simple change.
