The left side-bar could be cool if it could be filled with headlines from topics that interest me... although and option to turn it off would be nice.

I'd prefer no left gutter column at all. There is a reason that text presentation is always left justified with a column of whitespace or no column at all. It's the way the eye has been trained to quickly pick up the next line. Doesn't work well with the Flag graphic. This is why so many people complain about the headaches. The othe problem is that the graphic is causing a tremendous slow down in vertical scrolling speed. I've got a dual 333mHz Pentium II system under NT4 with a Matrox G450 PCI card, far from state of the art, but more than fast enough for FR. Now to get the same effective scrolling speed, I would have to upgrade my system to about a 1.2gHz system to get the same effective scrolling speed just because of the left gutter column Flag graphic.
