26 Sorry, I should have been a little more clear. What I meant in my last
27 email is that I would get the site to match Aarons current reference and
28 then he and I, working together as a team, would then address all the
29 issues that were brought up during the last round of feedback. Aarons
30 input as the designer will be make it so much easier to make sure those
31 accessibilty/other feedack is incorporated in a way that is pleasing to
32 look at and integrates with Aarons original design. This is how it
33 should have been done from the beginning as I already said in my last
34 email.

36 Sorry for any confusion.

39 ps. I'm moving all discussion of this to the www-redesign@g.o
40 mailing list. I'll start a new thread there right now. Anyone who wants
41 to participate should sign up for that list.
