One more thing to perhaps consider is that the theme of spf.pobox.com is a
generic theme from some webdesign company or something.. So perhaps basing
your design on that is a bad idea altogether.
Especially as I have unconfirmed suspicions that site & theme appeared due
to an agreement between Meng and Microsoft with both Microsoft SID and SPF
site design done by the same company, I suspect the one suggested by MS
for this job and thus having close ties with it.
And do note that the new site design appeared in June 2004 about exactly
one month after a formal agreement between MS and Meng was announced for
SPF to be merged into SID (in fact that agreement not only called for it
to be merged into SID but would have meant death for SPF as it called for
new XML record format, which was basically CID - it took about 2 months
before that idea was dropped after many objections at MARID - but I was
totally surprised how far Meng was willing to go and how much he gave in
just to be on the same team with MS!)
