I think what he's trying to point out is that its easy to stuff up
your selection using that method.. and if you had a "semi static" way
to select all the unselected "some" that was a little less easy to
"fumble" then the tick box idea would be neat.. I actually agree.. and
you'd set it up so that the ticks wipe themselves away when you close
the window...
