Subscribers have often told us they appreciate the comparative simplicity of the site and ease of navigation.

Sure, we could jazz it up and make it look just like the other cookie-cutters out there - but whether it'd translate to additional sales or interest...I can't say for sure.

Perhaps, idealistically...there's a middle-ground somewhere.
