Jim,
I couldn't help but notice that your web site is quite devoted to
marketing you and what you do. [Just a glass houses and stone comment
;-)]
Regardless, I do like your site. It's fun and snappy (pun intended). I
was, until last year, a high school drama teacher and currently involved
in community theatre, so I found your site very interesting. I think
your animated gifs are used in a particularly creative manner. But (you
knew that was coming, didn't you?) They seem to flash too quickly -
especially the credit screens at the bottom. I had a hard time reading
them. Maybe it's my machine, but it is only a Pentium 166, which seems
to be the low end standard these days.

Gee, are more and more people planning to use this list as a marketing
outlet?
Here's what you see first off when you go to that site:
<<Write Your Way to Riches
How to Make a Fortune as a Technical Writer
Want to save $12? Order Now!>>
Well, at least $12 is a hell of a lot cheaper than the other stuff
listed.
But it's not exactly the kind of approach one expects among colleagues.
No?
