George, I mean Gary, you look so much like George Costanza. :) Your site
needs a major, major overhaul. Too damn cluttered. Can't find anything.
Web pages are long...you're scrolling down forever. For the love of God
Gary, your column widths are insanely narrow. The fricken text is huge!
Nobody uses 800x600 these days except those going blind. Dude, hire a
decent web designer. Otherwise, shut her down. Content is almost
**irrelevant** if people have an unhappy browsing and viewing
experience. Besides, most everyone visits gpspassions and other sites
any ways.

I might agree with some of the layout concerns, but I definitely would not
recommend that George shut down his site. There's genuine info there for
those who care to find it.

Perhaps an idea:
every item on its own page. check the statistics for each page once per
month. Pages that are not visited after 6 month can be deleted.

Volunteers? Didn't think so. It's easy to think of work for other people,
isn't it? Here's another idea - let's thank George for the great effort,
and leave it at that.
