Door Hinge Screws: Leave 'em off?

[fun2drum]

This is probably a newbie question, but it looks like the whole door-removal thing would be much easier if the hinge screws weren't replaced. Is that dangerous or is it at least not a terrible idea? Will the doors not just sit in the hinges without screws, and not fall out as long as they're closed?

Nevermind, I can't believe I didn't see the other thread about this topic. I even did a search, worded several different ways, and it didn't even come up. I just now stumbled onto it right after posting this. Sorry

For anyone else having a tough time searching, the answer is YES, leave them off.

Gives me something to put in the box with the hard foam under the back seat with the neat little labels...

Leave em off and buy the bullet things instead, to help not ding the paint.

Bullet things? U mean the extenders?

They're hinge guides. I leave those on as they protect the bolt end and I've scratched the hinges before with the bolt. I think the first pair I bought called them bullet guides or something, bunch of people make them. Below is an example of what I'm talking about.
