ONE of the things the web is about is _______ . (Please insert your
personal opinion.)  Much of the web is still experimental.  There is plenty
of room for standard and non-standard approaches to the new medium while we
all figure out how it works.  Before we flame, we should ask what the goals
are.  Your goal is to have a standards-based medium.  Others have differing
opinions.  One goal of this site is to offer an experimntal interface

FYI:  the site in question is incredably slow even on a 56K early morning
connection.  The settings within Netscape are also non-standard and
Macintosh-centric.  It seems to begin with an aut-advance, but it is hard
to tell because everything loads so slowly. It also assumes a 15" monitor
or larger.  This is not a place for the casual browser.  The site is
obviously experimental and kind of cool once you figure out what is going
on.
