Agreed, but even someone that isn't a webdesigner has an opinion on
wha they do find nice, and what they don't ... and it was with the
opinions of many that the web site was designed ... I might not be able to

'k, not against the getting rid of the dual menus, but am curious as to

longer menu on the one side to scroll through?
