Laura,

we are not discussing removal *forever*. In fact what I want to achieve with 
this DrupalCOM is precisely what yyou want.

Only i think that trowing people into the deep, jsut like that is a bad route 
to take. Hell, still 90% of the inter-net surfers does so on IE, while anyone 
knows that safari/firefox/konq/opera is waaaay better. And Just Installing 
[tm] Firefox for them often makes them even more like 
 Open Source is poop. Look: My Favorite Movie Trailer Watch Site, or My Bank 
doesnt even work in it.

Same goes for Drupal. If they do *not* want logins, or *not* want Posted By 
Nathaly on 12 / 12 / 05, they might have a reason for that. But if you go 
ahead and tell them they really need it, they will get angry.

But if you give them what they want, they will get back to you soon, after 
they grow into the site, after they grok the concepts, they might (and will) 
get back with things like 'can we not handle all feedback online (forums)' or 
'is there a way to post more often, on a personal basis (blogs)'.

There is only so much a person ca, will and wants to learn for his or her 
site.
