Subject: RE: True Lies: Bob Dylan's Hattie Carroll
Your site is, thank god, *much* better done than the New Yorker's. Since I often use a rather slow machine for the web, the excruciating delays in crawling from one page to the next on their site means I have simply given up on it. A paper copy will probably be in the village library, which is only 5 minutes walk away - a lot faster than trawling through the New Yorker website for a sizable article.

If you don't want to put everything on one page (as many sites do when providing what they call a "printer-friendly" alternative), it is more helpful to the reader to use topics rather than numbers. "A Scaffold for Marionettes" or "Hattie Carroll on the Stage" are a bit more informative than "9".

Still, the speed makes up for it to a large extent.
