The fact is plain text passwords are part of the API, and the only way to write apps. Twitter hasn't removed that from the API, so it's the only way to write apps right now. People aren't going to stop doing that, and that's a huge issue. It's very easy to do what I want to do. I like what my application does. I don't like how Twitter is making me do it though. I'm up for a boycott if you can convince my competitors to do so as well - good luck with that. Jesse
