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
how that would reduce the need for scrolling?  Wouldn't that just mean a
longer menu on the one side to scroll through?
