why would you want to remove it? I think it actually helps members NOT type a wrong pass or email. Otherwise, they have to create another account... I also don't like to do file edits either sadly..

I guess someone can still use the hack though....

[chuchukuttie]

Hmm... not interested in this, I agree with FreshFroot. It's good to have the confirms.
