why does everyone hate it? Because they have aesthetic sense. The new look is cluttered and ugly, has the all the cheap appeal of imitation Yahoo. No amount of speed is going to change that. My prediction is that you will look forward to logging off the new site.

BLUE, PENNI, EVERYBODY! ATTENTION, PLEASE! I am going to clomp in here wearing my big army boots, and put it to you square. Lather is too much of the diplomat to offend your sensibilities. But I am not. Rather, I ain't. Ptoo-ey! ('Scuse me, ma'am, that was my chewin' tabacky. Didn't mean to splatter yer shoes.) To answer Blue's question "why does everyone hate it [the new SI]?" would take several hours. People have different reasons. In my case, I will hate it until the Go2Net team restores the features they have eliminated from SI (e.g., various search functions, the Clubhouses). In the process of trying to turn SI into a one-stop-shopping financial site, the engineering team has emasculated the messaging system, which is what makes (or used to make) SI unique. Now -- Ptoo-ey! ('scuse me agin, Ma'am) -- some of you Rambiites have signed Lather's petition. I urge those of you who have not to at least take a look at it. Subject 29753 As you will see, Lather is not asking that the New SI be dumped in favor of the Old -- or Classic -- SI. All he is asking is that Classic SI not be taken out and shot, as it is scheduled to be; and that each subscriber have the option of using one or the other site. And if you feel that we should not have that choice, you can vote "nay" in this poll: unicus.com Well, I've said my piece. Ptoo-ey! ('Scuse me, ma'am!) Thanks for listenin'.
