NEWS FLASH!!!
...being a Veteran does not, in and of itself confer Honor...it merely sets a standard of Honor for a person to live by...the choices a person makes, the decisions they adopt...THESE define Honor...look at John McCain in light of how he lives his life, his choices and decisions, his votes,...

...then ask yourself this...if he was so "honorable"; why would he need to wage a campaign based solely on lies,smears and spin...

...oh, one more question...is a person who puts narrow partisan precepts above the health and welfare of this Nation Honorable??? Is somebody who discards the principles of Justice, and the Rights of WE THE PEOPLE...are such people honorable???

hey James,<p>It would be naive, I think to conclude that you guys have not thought about this change well. I think the added features are great but the design could till use some improvement. I don't like whining, so instead of complaining, I made a mock up of how minor adjustments can make a great deal of difference for the site. I just hope you guys and your designers check it out.<p>Ipodwheels<p>P.S. here's the link to the story.<br />http://www.propeller.com/story/2008/07/24/how-the-propeller-design-should-have-been/

Hi James, hate to be the bearer of complaints. It seems your getting an earful. I always liked the site, I just hoped the infrastructure would improve, that the bugs would cease, that it would work better. This new interface is horribly amateur. So much of the site's functionality is lost. I strongly feel you need to consider returning to the old interface.( or at least use it for a model) no one has a kind word for the new site. It's like a really cheesy version of Digg. Ugh!
Fond regards to you personally,
