”However, I never export my settings because I like to go through them periodically because, for example, with each update a new or improved setting or two may appear, and I can reinforce my knowledge and/or improve the settings by going through them. ”

But a good thing that I learned from this exercise is that it is possible to export/import settings. Maybe I will save time in future installations/migrations! Every cloud has a silver lining :)
