Tom - I see your point, but I have been using the web since NCSA Mosaic and have taken maybe three site tours in the intervening 15 years. Maybe it's me. Anyone out there taken a site tour in the past 3 months? Regards,

We discussed that approach a little bit. My concern about that is how do you turn it off? If it based on a cookie, it comes back when they clear their cookies. If it's a setting in their preferences, I suppose that works but you need to make sure they find it. But really the main issue is that in our case they need to get the value proposition up front first, or they kind of go away. So it's less about the how and more about the why. Why do I want to be a part of this thing? We're not going to force the tour, but it has to be right there so all I have to do as a user is just click play, start or whatever to get it going.
