well, then I guess you won't be a customer. Guess what.. this doesn't matter, the loss is probably all yours (if the actual content is something you can benefit from).
Don't forget, this book is being written to get profit and recognition (I think ;) and loosing a couple of "this looks too cheap for me" dudes is an OK price to pay to significantly increase the readership. And I'm pretty sure patio11 and brennan know quite a bit about this.
So, so long as "it works" I think he's going in the right direction.

Was this meant to be snarky, or am I misreading it? I completely agree, and it seems like you're arguing against a position I never took.

As you no doubt noticed, I said these design decisions were likely made because they work. You are agreeing with my statement.

Did I claim otherwise? I shared the reasons why I had somewhat of a negative initial impression of the site. My impressions have nothing to do with the experience or credentials of those who were involved with the redesign.
