Why thank you Matt for your very kind words. Sometimes less is more and making things as obvious as possible works best for the majority of users. While I've changed the software quite a bit since 2004, the basic look and feel stays the same.
Every time Facebook or other major sites make big changes to their interface there is so many complaints and discontent that keeping things the same as much as possible seems to be the best way to go. You wouldn't think that would be rocket science to figure out, but apparently it is.
