As a true conservative, I immediately dislike change for change's sake. I liked the old format better.

I consider myself computer literate and I have a good sense of functional design. The old set-up was easy to navigate, uncluttered by borders, flags and extraneous messages. Yes, I can take the time to rearrange everything and select how I want the page to look, but I shouldn't have to. When I go to the deli I want my sandwich assembled for me on the plate, I am a news consumer and I want my news delivered without my having to assemble it. And I am entitled to voice my opinion as a financial supporter of this site, and those of you who don't like my opinion or that of those who don't like the new format can "get bent"!

Congratulations. You just summed up the core problem for most of the complaintants on these multiple 'new format' threads, whether they state it explicitly or not... and you did it concisely, politely, and even humorously. Post of the day!
