Yeah, put me in the cynical "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" camp. You're not exactly filling me with confidence when a) there's two different threads on this in two sections with differing first posts, and b) you can't even get "there'll" right (you put "there's be" in both posts).
I'm all for simplifying and making things easier, but I cannot abide change for change's sake when there's no need. Yes, I'm sure you'll seek assuage my concerns and that all this is necessary, but is it really? Obviously it's your forum and you'll do what you will, but just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. I guess time will tell.
