It doesn't take much searching to figure out that it's highly likely that
[http://www.ubalt.edu/cas/faculty/alphabetical-directory/kathryn-
summers.cfm Kathryn Summers] is probably connected to it. In fact, her
research looks kind of interesting - how do people with 8th-grade reading
skills (or below) navigate the text-heavy web?
The
[http://web.archive.org/web/20080529033738/http://iat.ubalt.edu/summers/math/platsol.htm
web archive] helps us more - apparently the originator of the graphic (not

Stay]. Or at least that's where we found it. It would be nice for us to
acknowledge this somehow, and I feel like either it should be dealt with
on this ticket ''or'' that deletion should not take place here and a new
ticket should be opened.
