Following earlier discussion of this point, in current git and snapshots I've made quiet operation the default for loops. So you no longer need to append the --quiet or -q option. However, the option is still accepted -- and probably will be accepted indefinitely since it appears in so many existing scripts. If you want more feedback on what's going on in a loop, use the --verbose (-v) option. If anyone sees any bad effects from this change, please let us know! Allin
