It's great to see the vast majority of folks with the same opinion I've had 
for months.  I've also tried to be patient and hoped that the design would
settle down, but it looks like that's not happening.
Aside from the numerous problems and overall poor design I'd like
to know the history of the redesign. My main question is: 
	Was the redesign done by a professional graphic designer?
		OR
	Was the redesign done by a computer scientist that thinks he/she
        is a professional designer?
		OR
	Was it done by committee?

The answer would be very enlightening.
