Firstly: With language like that how can you expect your idea to be listend to and accepted? Secondly: You seem to be the only person very upset by this. I read the history of this thread and the bugzilla and I legitimately do not see any need to change anything. Apparently I'm not alone either (see above posts in this thread). Thirdly: Even if there were a significant problem a complete switch to a new system that this community is used to is most likely *not* the optimal solution. Just because you suggested it and its 'mutually beneficial' does not mean it's correct or that it should be adopted. Other proposals have also been offered which seem to require much less drastic a change. Finally: I move that we close this thread. If there is still residual discomfort about the few cosmetic issues surrounding the gateway would any party willing to put fourth the work to fix the problem without replacing the whole system start a new thread with their ideas? --Zach
