Sorry, Jeff. I didn't know that you actually contracted through agencies.
An idiotic, innaccurate retort on your part.

You are obviously keen to take over the roll. Thank you.

Arent frames part of the HTML standard?
Just because they're part of a standard doesn't mean they don't SUCK.
Nor does it mean they won't be taken out. Forcibly. Hurrah!
