Sonny--

Again, I was not speaking about Nathan! I'm sorry that my post was
understood as being directed at him, not at all. If you review the posts
we've had (which have been, admittedly, a royal waste of time at this point)
there was one particular posting that complained about someone's being
arrogant by asking others to use a particular type of software in order to
view the site.

Again, I wasn't referring to Nathan. Did I say that I wasn't referring to
Nathan? Yes, I believe I did say that.

I will apologize for making any kind of offhand reference to anyone at all,
one that was obviously misunderstood. For that, my sincere apologies, to
Nathan, and to everyone on the list. Mea culpa.

Kit

Kit,

If you are selling hot dogs for a living, you wrap them in napkins,
not duct-tape.

My problem with Marko's site  is not flash or anything like that. I
don't think Nathan was being mean spirited when he gave some common
sense advice. I was certainly not trying to be mean spirited when I
pointed out that Marko needs to size his pictures appropriately. The
thumbs are 60x40 pixels, way too small to use as a reference.

Skipping the intro, and working as fast as I could, on a T1 line, it
was 40 seconds before I could get the first picture loaded.  That
picture is 287 Kb  and 378 pixels wide x 259 high, rather small to
view, especially in light of the amount of stuff in the picture.

Had he optimized it at 100% quality, it would be just 40 KB, and would
have loaded in 15 seconds on the slowest dialup.
