look - the thing is simple. if you gonna attempt having your site be supported
by ALL browser, you will have a site that looks like it was written in 95....
that's about all that ALL browsers support. if you want to use advanced
technology (which I believe you do, or at least, most people do, and it makes
it attractive), u have to give up that backwards compatibility. HTML 3.0,
frames, tables, JAVA Scripts, etc - are all wonderfull technologicall
advancments, supported by over 95% of the browsers (distribution wise) - e.g.
Netscape3+ and IE3+. if you gonna insist that Web Sufer 3.1, lynx, and some
other browsers that are used by 2 users, u are NOT gonna have a good looking
site.
and a nice soothing background is the ABC of making a page that will look
nice, and not boring white. I wouldn't really mind what you do with YOUR site,
but since you are holding the domain of all the israeli linux user group, I
think all the israeli linux user group should decide on this issue.

well - I don't have much time, but in any case - even if I will try
contributing to it, it will be only after a few thigns will be decided upon.
>That said, I won't put things _I_ don't like up instead of what's already
www.linux.org.il is not YOUR site. it's OUR (ILUG) site. and you shouldn't
forget it!
