I will not attach the snapshot of what I see (as we are communicating 
through mail list), but try grabbing right bottom corner of the browser 
window, and move that around. You will see that with resizing of window 
darn clickable image floats separately above the rest of the page and 
can block some information. That IMHO is not appropriate for website 
where INFORMATION is paramount, not a cool look.

Herr Polytropon in his response had given more details about the 
internals of that front page.

Valeri

PS My first name originated from Russia, where it is mostly male given 
name (so my parents were not crazy giving me that name), some females 
have the same name (modified to indicate female). As far as I know the 
name came to Russia from France where it is both female and male name. 
The spelling Valeri was made from cyrillic (and was acceptable) when I 
published my first paper in English language based journal (my earlier 
publications were in Russian). The spelling was acceptable conversion 
from cyrillic as one of the options, including when my passport in 
English language was issued. I don't care frankly what gender one thinks 
I am on the list - provided it doesn't end up in proposal of marriage ;-)
