Web site development

[Robert Berg]

I wasn't trying to create a debate over who can design a better site.  
So, to keep this thread going in a positive direction I guess I'll 
just withdraw my offer.  I guess I didn't have much to offer anyway... 

Incidentally, I completely understand the whole pet peeve thing.  
Infact, its a pet peeve of mine when people say... "I hate to do 
_blank_" and then go ahead and do _blank_ anyway.  Good luck with the 
design... if I can help in any way let me know.
