status report + look and feel questions

Recent changes have been mostly behind the scenes. Here's some of
the highlights that haven't been mentioned yet on gossip:

  a) Improved spam filtering on the archives. Unfortunately there's
     so much junk flying around the internet that we had to get 
     a little more serious at filtering the archival inbox.

  b) YahooGroups lists are no longer banned. This is in part because
     we now have better processing capacity, and in part because I
     expect fewer YahooGroup related headaches.
     
  c) Improved network infrastructure. This is mostly behind the scenes
     in terms of number of redundant mail servers, management of dns
     servers, network monitoring, backups, etc. You probably won't
     notice anything but it makes Jeff and my lives a little easier.

Also now that people have had a chance to play with the new look 
and feel for a few weeks, I'd like to get some comments.

 - Do the page load fast enough for everyone?

 - Anyone unhappy due to browser compatibility problems?

 - Is anyone actually honest-to-god using the date navigation 
   links at the bottom of message pages now that we have keyboard 
   shortcuts? Speak up or my minimalist sensibilities will take over
   and I get rid of them.

 - Does anyone prefer the old layout better?

Cheers,
Jeff
