I've been bitten by this one as well -- there are a lot of places where the 
UI isn't well-suited for tables without a unique key.  For me, it was 
easier to add an additional key that was unique than it was to modify the 
UI to do what I wanted.

Oh, I don't blame Congress.  If I had $600 billion at my disposal, I'd
be irresponsible, too.
