Val,
What Angus said here, I agree with. I don't know why I overlooked the Enter
link with the door. I gave it some thought and the only thing I can deduce is
that I ignored it because it was so much different from the rest of the page -
like advertising would be. I essentially did a mental block of it.
Perhaps if it was put with the other links that follow it, but in the first
position?
