Our web-site philosophy is to provide you a useful, interesting easy-to-navigate site which loads quickly and serves you without troubling you.

1. We strive for a clean, functional site design. 

2. We use graphics sparingly.

3. All proposed graphics are carefully judged for their load-time/benefit ratios.

4. We keep our files and pages small, so they load faster for you.

5. We maintain a standard and obvious navigation design.

6. We avoid putting "cookies" on your hard drive.

7. We do not attempt to probe your computer or pry into your individual identity.

8. We don't indiscriminately accept advertising.

9. We will not add features or complexity unless the benefit to you exceeds the extra loading time.

10. We don't disguise jumps to off-site links, or try to pretend that someone else's content is ours.

11. We don't force open extra windows on your browser or allow any "pop-up" windows or "pop-under" windows.

12. You can e-mail us with confidence that we will use your address only to respond to you.  

13. We don't send "SPAM."

14. We offer you plenty of ways to contact us; we're not a faceless, unreachable entity hidden behind a website.

Enjoy your visit with us, and e-mail us your comments on our web-site philosophy!
