I think you may have missed something. I read responses from at least 3
other people so far. None of them agreed with you.

(A) If you want EVERYone on the mailing list to _agree_ on something,
you're wasting your time.
(B) From past experience, even when a group of about 15 people from the
list got together to discuss something (LIVE, not over Email), we
couldn't really agree on anything except the fact that we don't agree.
(C) So far I've seen nobody agree with you, and in addition you're
ignoring a lot of the things I say.

I never said they should look the same. I said they must have the same
functionality. The reason there's no background image is NOT that lynx
doesn't support it, but that that's how I design HTML (when I have to).
You'll note there _are_ images on the pages, some of which I'm not happy
with because they take up about 30kb, but you'll note that someone who
_does_ choose to use lynx can still follow _all_ the links, which are
presented to him/her in an _informative_ way (ie, no [IMAGE] or [LINK]
boxes).
What I'm saying is, if YOU write a page for the site, I would _really_
like you to use the same colour scheme and design. But if you absolutely
HAVE to put in a million images and have JavaScript change the image
onMouseOver, fine, I won't stop you. I'd prefer it if you don't, and I'd
_really_ prefer it if the images were original, not something you
downloaded. But it would still go in the page!
But don't expect ME to make pages like that. I don't _like_ pages like
that. Like I said time and time again, I'm _coordinating_, and so far
nobody's submitting!
Anyway, a few people have said they _like_ the way the site is now (thanks
people), and only you have complaints.
If anyone sends me better pages/graphics, I _will_ implement them.
Bye,
