hiya ron, gina, brick and other nice hiking people.

I'm bummed I got this going.  Gina is probably
a very nice person and doesn't deserve my
"corporate nitpicking"..........

but her site falls under a number of "could use
a little massaging" categories.

like: the site asks you to pay (honor system)
AS WELL as putting up money links.  this is
"pulling out all the stops" money questing.
and I'd technically even have to pay to get
my thoughts heard, if I followed the suggested
channels.

any way, nice site Gina, good content, just
could use a little "user friendliness" review.
