Without saying that you are wrong in that assessment, let me ask on what basis
do you make that claim? If Lugnet is the final answer, why do other sites
start? Do those that prefer it do so simply because Lugnet is all they know?
Is it really graphics or text-only that they prefer or content, organization,
and emphasis?
Of course, with more choices people will gravitate to what they prefer, and
eventually I think you statement will prove true, regardless of whether it is
true or not now. Honestly, I think Todd is quite happy to let others take up
the torch.

Like I said before, thanks for considering someone who remembers Annette in
mouse ears a "kid". :-)
