Al: A design instructor once warned us that "the better your work, the simpler the task will seem to have been." So hats off to you for the clean, clear look of the new front page, which actually involved: meticulous comparative research; identification of goals and obstacles; endless (and occasionally obsessive) thought; trial and error; hope that a likely solution has been found that merely needs refinement... and, then, oh no... a flaw identified that few would notice but you know it's there and to correct it is not a matter of musical chairs, but rather, an almost back to square one redesign.
I'm exhausted just thinking about it, but also exhilarated, for you, and for us -- we who benefit from your skill and care. Thanks, Al.
