...I'm sorry, but did you just cite quia.com as a service which is
intuitive & user-friendly?

I've used Quia for 2 classes I was in. Clearly we must be thinking
about different services, because the Quia I used had all sorts of
ridiculous flaws that made me dread signing on (couldn't bookmark
pages, had to navigate through a rigid unobvious system, couldn't have
multiple tabs, audio files which were just mp3s, nasty time-outs,
random spaz-outs, and just the general rigidity and terrible taste of
corporate-style intranets) - when I could figure out the right page to
sign onto and not get lost in their site mazes.
