In reply to Michael.

A little self promotion here: http://shapeshifter3.tumblr.com/ , as I have been tinkering with tumblr, but I definitely DO NOT want to lose the massive amout of functionality that a self-hosted version of WordPress can currently offer. Let simple minds choose simple products; let more complicated minds choose more complicated products. I apologize for being somewhat brash or sarcastic, but human beings are not all created equal, and choose different consumer products for different reasons.

WordPress evidently started as simple Blog software, but its diverse usage has evolved into quite something different. Please don't let any one person or group of users (who love what it used to be) limit that continued evolution.
