I agree. While I do not like the idea of scrolling down 15 pages for all of the 
questions (I still like the tab idea, though I can understand the argument 
against it), the idea that "to compete, we must imitate" just...tastes wrong. 
If you are imitating, you aren't innovating. If you aren't innovating, then 
what do you have to offer? The idea that someone else has already done it The 
Right Way(tm) is silly. I believe that, while users may not be used to it, we 
can offer a better way that users will prefer, if we put our minds to it. :-)

Sorry if I'm just rephrasing Eric's comments, but I think they are very 
appropriate, and we must focus on the destination, not the half-way point.
