Repeat away, but hasn't it dawned on you by now that that's what we're discussing here all the time? If you can't see that that's exactly what Journey to Forever is on about, then you really are blind, or worse. And it's not just me who'd say that, we get loads of email from people all the time saying just the opposite of what you say, and also, very often, the opposite of your opinion that it's "really poorly organized". That opinion I'd not be taking seriously from somebody who feels that PDF files are the route to proper organization. LOL! You can't grep dead trees. PDFs are a major reason the paperless office has failed to materialize - so you print it out, stuff it in a filing cabinet or something, or what, keep it on your hard disk? Have you got a full-text search program that will search it? (Whatever might be the advantage of that, eh?) Open it up, if you can ever find the thing, and no url, no way of knowing where it came from. It's as clunky as hell, and the type's all blurred - unlike html. That's probably where your goldfish vision comes from. Quite the most awkward, unwilling, otherwise piece of garbage to be found on the Web. That would really be the end of the Web, if websites were organized the way you want them to be. Why not learn something of the basics of downloading information from websites, and then handling it properly? Seriously, you're only getting a keyhole view of what's there, no use complaining about the keyhole - open the damn' door, it's not locked! >there is no >top-down comprehensive table of contents, and I can't download the At the top-left on every page: "Sitemap (text only)" http://journeytoforever.org/sitemap.html We're not about to disorganize our website for the sake of the incompetent. Blind people can use it (they're among the most able users of the Internet, and I think PDFs are particularly unkind to them), people with really old gear can use it, kids can use it, everybody likes it, but you can't use it, and complain. You're the one out of step. Keith ------------------------ Yahoo!
