[Aquanet] web site changes

[Annette Compton]

I'm with Pat—I like the idea of the redesign, but I do prefer the  
medium of email. I find it blends into my day. If I had to log on to  
the site to communicate and that were the only means, I would  
probably not do that very often.

Though there are enjoyments with Facebook, mostly it feels like a  
"time-sucker." If Aquanet becomes a site based on that model without  
the emails to the list, I probably would visit infrequently at best  
and fade into the background quickly. That's news as I see it right now.

However, I LOVE the idea of commenting directly on the page of the  
gallery—that's a brilliant idea. It would be like a group of us all  
going to a gallery together and standing around chatting about the  
work. Excellent thought, Raymond!

Can you add that feature but maintain our "list" discussions as well  
or does that defeat the purpose of your redesign?
