OK, I did. This is not a comment on the quality of UIE's
research, but If they're so smart, why do you have to scroll
to view the site *contents*? Not content, the table contents.
And howcome their HTML headers include
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 3.0">
and *no* <META name="keywords"
And why is the whole page enclosed in a huge table (meaning
you're staring at a blank page 'til the whole table's been
downloaded and parsed)?
Then again, if I'm so smart, why aren't I rich?
