To all this talk about MM and the composition of their site: Sean, you and your team there at MM have done an out standing job with the site. It is one of my favorite to visit. I have never worked on a site that large( and I doubt many have =^) hint. hint. ). I think its interesting that others don't understand that sometimes you might not have time to convert a 50 page section of the site from broadvision || cgi to cfmx because 1.) You might not have the time given other projects and 2.) If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
