Nice mod, I don't think it can cause any problem with other mods
Maybe you should also add it to public_edit_post.pl...
BTW, in the part you delete in public_new_reply_form.pl, put a commented text "# Here Bible hack removed something" so if somebody wants to uninstall it, he/she knows where to put this text.
