I like this page for both its clean design and economical use of
existing resources.

My sentiments also.  At first glance in my browser, I didn't see the
community headlines.  We should have rule limiting the height of the

with Free fonts?  Are we ready to move on two a new headline since we
are now comfortably in 2004?
