This topic is getting annoying.

Funny, I haven't heard from them.  Seriously, the folks that I've seen 
posting statements like this dreamed up some crap in a backroom that 
sounded good to the suits who generally have exactly 0, zip, nil, 
nada, NO understanding of the technical implications of what they are
doing.
In your case, I'd be moving my money somewhere that has a clue.  If 
they aren't taking proper care of it via their web site, what else are 
they lax about that will be causing you problems later?

2 cents,
