Joop, that is bull!  I could have cobbled together that
lame, frame-based, sorry excuse for a "website" in under 15
minutes in Dreamweaver!  If anyone thinks differently, I can
prove it for them anytime.  Don't even try to call it an
outreach effort!  That is a sick, pathetic, fcuking joke, so
don't go falling for it.
