Todd,
I just wanted to thank you publicly for doing this. I know its not perfect but
I personally would rather live with a little inconvenience then have to deal
with people stealing identities. Fortunately for me I am a member that uses
the web interface anyway so I won't hardly notice a differance.
I still have a couple of concerns that I would rather not post here for fear
someone will take inappropriate actions. I also know some people have been
inconvenienced by this and I hope they can make the adjustments to make this
work. I do think this was necessary, unfortunately, and I am glad to see it in
place. Assuming things really do stabalize I will probably get back to my old
posting self soon.
Thanks,
Eric Kingsley
