Good work, Todd.
As I use the web interface this doesn't affect me much at all. I understand
the issues raised by some who do not use the web interface, and I'm sure
you'll work with them as much as possible/feasible to address their
concerns, but I see this as a great step towards preventing a goodly bit of
the nonsense that has been going on.
