Yeah, I agree. If you're not a daily reader then this new 'feature' has the possibility to destroy your understanding of who is who in this tight-knit community.

I switched mostly as a prank -- I was seduced by features! But I have repented! (just requested to go back to original). It hit me when I saw my borderline-vulgar new handle mentioned in another thread. I thought "What if my dear 95 year-old aunt is reading the BBS?"

And while some were no-brainers, I did find some other sig-shifting challenging.
