This discussion to death is what killed any work on the site in the first place. The old site was ugly, difficult to navigate, and didn't contain a whole bunch of useful information on the front page, anyway. The most useful stuff has been retained and is easily accessible by clicking the `Learn More' link. Trying to find anything in the old site (if you aren't a daily visitor -- and I never have been) was a huge pain in the ass. The new site makes information visible and accessible and has a much more readable color scheme to boot. Also, this site has been discussed quite a bit over the last months. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Mine is that this is a necessary and very worthy ``face-lift.'' -Devon H. O'Dell
