It *is* a big deal. It was Bob's idea and it was a *very* good one.

This capability is EXCELLENT!

If you (or someone else) want to work on the web site, please do so!
I can spend time adding functionality or I can fix the home page ... which

Very powerful.

Bob, this is great. Thanks for coming up with the idea and pressing me to
implement it.
