otoh, why is the home page you get when you press refresh different from the home page you get when you click on "home"?

But I do approve of the "If you've found this site via a search engine and entered at one of the content pages you may not have access to the full site. If you do not see a menu and picture down the left hand side of this page click here to access the full site." clause. That does happen, doesn't it? otoh(2) that's a disadvantage of frames.

disclaimer: sorry if you've strayed into this thread thinking it must be dead interesting cos it's got lots of traffic and you've instead stumbled upon my ravings and ramblings. It wasn't me. A big boy did it and ran away.
