Yep, I vote for set search on the front page too. I blindly put the name of the
set into the box at the top of the page and was greeted with several articles.
I was momentarily confused. I thought I had put in the wrong url. I did find
the Pause search though. My first impression was change is bad, but I do not
really think it is bad. The news groups get top billing now, and that is what
this is all about. Getting the set data base of the front page makes it more
clear the the data base is associated with Pause. I must admit that the only
thing I use from Pause is the set search, I have no idea what Pause is. So, if
the goal is to make us more "Pause" conscious then the change is certainly
doing that.
Change scares me,
