As others have said, thanks for the insight, and for taking the time to calmly and rationally look at the options and at what's best for the community as a whole. As I said yesterday, it doesn't make much difference to me, except that LJ really does seem to be doing this shift that I don't like, and which is impacting usability for me, and I really want this place to continue. So I will be following over toot sweet!
