2 things: 1. I have to say I agree with David that I think you're too prone to flaming to be a content submitter to the website *qua* webmaster. However, as an individual that's fine, of course. 2. The Slashcode-ish look is ok. You really need to change those <td bgcolor="#ffffff"> backgrounds to delineate between various content spaces, though. Personally, I prefer CSS to bgcolor declarations (easier on the file downloads, too...) but users of ancient browsers may need this deprecated crutch. -s On Wed, 2002-10-16 at 17:06, Sotiris Sotiropoulos wrote: > http://www.worldatlarge.org/index.php > > Sincerely, > > Sotiris Sotiropoulos > > Hans Klein wrote: > > > Sotiris, > > > > If you have a mock-up web site, I am sure we would all be eager to see it. > > > > Can you post the URL? > > > > Hans > > > > At 02:15 PM 10/16/2002 -0400, Sotiris Sotiropoulos wrote: > > >DannyYounger@cs.com wrote: > > > > > > > Jamie, > > > > > > > > Before you begin questioning the relationship between established user > > > > organizations and ICANN, you might want to ask if your own group, > > > without any > > > > organizational documents, without even a mission statement, bylaws or > > > > charter, even qualifies as an organization suitable for recognition as an > > > > at-large structure. > > > > > >Perhaps a dis-organization, then?
