Script Editor problem

[J. Landman Gay]

Recent stacks are stored in the prefs file, so they are persistent 
across all LC versions that share the same prefs file. However, if you 
change the Start Center then yes, I'm pretty sure that would get replaced.

The other points you make are valid, including that you've been around 
long enough that I should have caught the tongue-in-cheek comments. :)
