Heh.  Actually, I just grepped the most recent log for just one of my
domains, and I've had another Lynx user today.  Who knew?  (Well, *I*
would, if I paid attention to my log analysis on a more regular basis.)

At any rate, I use a little Java* here and there, but I muchly prefer it
to be optional (form fill-in assistance, mostly).  The site is a mailing
list server, so I want it to be accessible to folks with minimal hardware.
I suppose I'd look like less of a Luddite if I said "I want it to be
friendly to cell and palmtop users."  Yeah, that's the ticket.

I suppose I should have put that on my list; I considered it.  Though I
think it was going to be a giant evil TMPL_IF structure with pregen
images.  (With appropriate ALT tags for Lynx users, natch.)

I also considered using a borderless table with varying numbers of cells,
but only briefly.

If it gets too far right I just want to stop indenting, since (1) it's
going to wrap off the side of the monitor, and (2) that generally only
happens when it's degenerated into an argument, so who wants to read that
anyway?
