By the way, should the "-S" option try to make the packet list window
scroll to the bottom whenever it adds packets, so that the most recently
captured packets, rather than the first N packets of the capture, are
displayed?

Reply:

Please no.  I'd hate to see that happen as the only alternative.  I like being 
able to look at one group of packets while others are being captured.  Maybe we 
should make it an option to scroll to the bottom on new data.  The non-scroll 
is a feature of Ethereal I find very nice.  I use it literally all the time.
