@Kim -

Kim, I'm in total agreement with you. I work with many newbie business owners, who just aren't "techie". While some of the skills seem simple to us, it's an advanced skill to someone who doesn't understand why you shouldn't copy and paste from Word!

It's also the non-techie users that need to be protected from the dreaded db bloat. Many don't know enough about data bases for the thought to even occur to them. While we don't need the bloat either, at least we know where to go for help and how to implement the solution.

Expecting new or non-tech folks to dig into code is sort of like expecting every new driver to be able to change the head gasket. The skills may come with time but shouldn't be required to drive the car.

I like the idea of short & sweet settings being in the UI because I can simply tell people to "change this setting to "X" and there is no chance of them making an oops involving other code.
