Understood. Thank you.

Brief comment here: I'm sure that for many (most?) users, existing behavior is perfectly satisfactory: a dialog box warns you when trying to fetch news without a network connection. Others (like me, for example) may wish to run calibre in the background/system-tray and set the program to fetch news from various sources at various times of the day/week/month.

As such, you may wish to consider giving users an option to turn off the network-connection warning altogether. Perhaps this is already possible, though I did not see anything during a brief look through the preferences pane.

Thank you again for a very sharp program.
