Max, I'm not a reactionary as you may think. I'm not against changes to
the better. But it should be adequate, effective and universal for the
region it serves. I don't know why you start to think on behalf (and
propose against) of the 3500 other members using the scheme.
If we got to the stage of a new proposal then maybe we should drop
e-mail as a way to change the objects in the DB? It will be more
constructive than shutting down both "password" ways. At least this way
solves the "crypting mail prohibited" problem together with crypting ALL
conversation (not only password part) and many more (and much more
productive that the halved currently proposed "step"). The mechanism for
that is already here - lirportal.
