I am really surprised! Am I the only one who dislikes this site? I find it remarkable that the poor usability of the site wasn't a factor. Take, for example, this page upon which I am typing. It is a full screen on my computer. Yet, aside from my comment here, it contains barely more than 100 words, in giant type -- a remarkable waste of space! (There is also a list on the left of eight or so headline links, a column that is about a sixth of the space.) The whole website is like this. As little information on a screen as possible seems to be the goal, plus bad navigation and unpredictable jumping around to boot. I could go on...if you want more, just say so in a comment.
