Glad - absolutely.

Yes, it really is. Overdue, perhaps, but good things take time.

Yes, it is. It is a regular annoyance and inconvenience to us now, but after a
while, we will adjust and simply get accustomed to posting with authentication.

This feature is absolutely necessary, IMO. Use some of your perseverence to
learn to deal with he new procedures. Some of the other replies mention a
little routinte they do for getting their messages posted efficiently. Give
those ideas a try.
I miss the instant appearance of messages myself, but will get used to it as
time passes and I get more accustomed to the system.
If it keeps the trolls out, I'm all for it....
