[thelist] 'about' (was: 'Click here')

Another reason 'Click here' may get used: poor interface design or 
non-intuitive navigation.  Example:

http://devex.allaire.com/developer/gallery/

A sentence was tacked in (in my browser, even the font is different) 
saying "For detailed information, click 'About.'")

IMO, the standard-issue "about" link is worth a thread of its own.  I 
use it in my sites, yet I always wish I could think of something more 
specific to my purposes that would be both descriptive and terse.
