Hi Chris,

Yeah, fair enough.

Actually, when the time came to do the CSS for Opera (which is of course
unable to handle the JS/DOM scripts used to open/close the submenus on
the left and therefore had to get an all-open-all-the-time alternative)
I also thought "Hmm, interesting, looks clearer and works better". Only
trouble is, that in the near future the site will have even more
(sub-)menu options, which may just make the navigation too busy to handle.

I'll see what the general reaction turns out to be and maybe I'll revert
everyone (well, their browsers) to the Opera-style open menu for now and
deal with expansion when it becomes acute.

Thanks again for taking the time to check it out for me.
