Hi Antonino - thanks! :)

Certainly tastes vary and really there is no one single design that is perfectly suitable to every different person...

Early on in the development of MoI I made a conscious decision to put "keeping with tradition" at a very low level of priority. It was kind of a risky decision in many ways but it tends to make development work a lot more interesting and fun (but unfortunately more difficult too!).

In some ways it is interesting because the wide variety between many different web sites seems to have made people more accepting of different designs these days, but then there seems to be a few areas like web discussion forums that have a kind of established tradition now themselves.
