Hi ...

Yes, the problem of the nav bar is tied to the site structure itself and
also that we have a lot of UG's now so the list is quite long and the
nesting can be confusing. We'll have to work around that until it's
changed. But, sure, I don't want to reduce anyone's visibility so much
as I'd like to focus things more.

Thanks,


Jim
