It wasn't that it was THAT bad, but I didn't say it was horrible. I would love to be able to tell somebody to fix everything I don't like or that I feel needs improvement. But since I can't do the coding myself, I reallize that those that can are volunteering. And I appreciate what everybody does contribute. It was the "Please fix pronto!" That got me. No major deal.
