Very good point. Some sites are confusing, with the indexes hidden. I
imagine a LOT of potential customers will leave the site in digust; I
do this when I come to such a site. Can the owner not SEE what's
wwrong? They should't have to be told. Some sites' graphics are far
too slow to load too. Overdoing graphics may LOOK good but it doesn't
help the site load.

I've come across a site I really wanted to get into (Not VW) but it
just wouldn't open... jus sat grinding away, for well over 5 minutes
every time. I had the owner's e-mail address, so told him about it.
Quite a number of times. I heard later from others that they had
problems with this site also. Anyway, he eventually took notice and
changed to another host!
