well, huh...that was unexpected. My son is considering an offer from his company to go CIO to COO, which would place him in Hong Kong and maybe Kuala Lampur for anywhere from 3 to 12 months.

I always wondered how that search engine stayed around with a name like that. At least they changed the logo. Actually, though, it is a good search site. Merry Christmas to you.

There's a search on "christmas" link on the Forum page, labeled "Merry Christmas".

Can we request a "Merry Christmas" greeting for the front page of our favorite website?

We'll see, if Jim or a mod replies.

As a webmaster myself (of other sites, of course), I'll say that how difficult it is can range from trivial to a major PITA, depending on how the site is implemented.

Over one hour and counting and no response from J.R. How long will it take to see if he adds Merry Christmas to the cover of the home page.
