@SteveSanderson is it possible to set the initial value for an observable without this being broadcast to any subscribers?

Quite often I want to respond to the value changing from the initial value.
i.e. binding a drop list to a default value (an observable)
then causing a load to occur when the drop list is changed.

Is this the behavour that the 'DeferEvaluation' option is meant to provide? Because i'm not getting this to work in this way either
