 > > Is there any reason for why you want to stick with the stuff in the
 "else:" part (i.e. "if the user checks 'My ISP blocks...' but doesn't add
 bridges, just ignore this with a warning")? What that suggests is
 precisely going back to the old behaviour you described in #3354, which I
 feel is very confusing and unintuitive. Why should an option that is set
 when you open the Vidalia settings suddenly revert when pressing Ok even
 though you haven't touched itm or any related options?

 Sure. All I want is that the prompt does not force the 'My ISP blocks...'
 option off no matter what. If it asks whether the user want to revisit the
 bridge settings to add bridges, or disable the option so Tor can start
 working without bridges, that's fine.
