I never take a lively discussion as rude.

Um in regards to the navigation bar. I use the 8px wide spacers to separate
the buttons (I guess I could use CSS to do this as well, and that is
something I will look into thanks for pointing that out, get rid of a little
bloat!!)  But the on 600px+ spacer gif across the top is there to keep
netscape from breaking the navigation bar when the page browser window is
set narrower than 780px, I could not find another solution for that one.

And the other spacer images are there to ensure a minimum width/height for
the table columns and rows.  I guess they are not truly needed but I figure
better safe than sorry so why not throw in spacer images to ensure
rock-solid tables.

Please excuse me as I have a dinner to attend, I look forward to hearing
more of your thoughts.

Thanks again,
JP
