No offense, but your web site sucks? How *am* I supposed to take that
other than as offensive? I mean, c'mon, really. If you think it
sucks, say so, but don't think you can say it without hurting my
feelings. It's best to strike the phrase "No offense, but" from your
vocabulary.
I prefer to list everything on one page because it minimizes latency.
You download the page once, which doesn't take too awful long because
there's almost no graphics. Then you use your browser's search
function to find things that the internal navigation links don't bring
you to by browsing. This, instead of the usual "click, wait. click,
wait" you get from most other web sites. You can't do much with a
small wait, but you can usually find something to do with a big wait
to download a big page.
So, since you think you can do better, what would you do differently?
Split the page up? That would waste people's time. Add more
information? I'm fine with that -- "send code", as they say.
