concur with all

Just FYI for those keeping track - so far no dialog boxes have popped up since I removed that text line.
Seems to be success and a simple fix too :)

FYI - this machine was originally a 10.8.5 machine - I mirrored the system drive to an external so I could still boot 10.8.5  - then I installed the latest Os
 - so the line above from Thomas "but if you upgraded a 4+ year old system that started out on 10.9 or earlier you may still have it." seems to be a very accurate call.

@ Tom Lane - thank you for pointing me in the right direction!!!!!!!!

to paraphrase Douglas Adams - "I was about to reprogram my Mac Mini with a very large axe..."

I think my Mac and I are both very glad it did not come to that. : )

thanks gang!

... and based on various random reports found via Google, it looks
like Mavericks (10.9) probably did have that entry.  So I suspect that
Yosemite (10.10) was the first not to include it, but if you upgraded
a 4+ year old system that started out on 10.9 or earlier you may still
have it.
