adding to circle ought to default to an add

[Suggestion made by OpenID user, reposted by moi.]

Summary:

"add to circle" ought to default to both "grand access" and "subscribe" checked, then let me uncheck one if i wish.

Description:

when i click add to circle, no boxes are checked by default. perhaps the most compelling argument can be made for having both checked by default (both grant access and subscribe). but at least one ought to be checked by defualt. lest why did i click "add to circule"?

The original suggestion says to check both, which like you I think is not good. And I just don't find a pre-selection that much more convenient, whereas having nothing selected yet makes sense to me.

I think the "success" when nothing is checked may be because with the circle page you can after all also change from someone having a subscribe and/or access ticky to having nothing, and then checking nothing would not be an error. It would be neat if it tracked whether you did anything before saying it was a success though.
