this should really be addresses to web page designers.

they have gone thru web pages and *prettified* them with little

by adding more links in pages, they get more pages to *prettify*.
they care little about convince.

until some people get there heads out of their butts and put what is
needed  on pages and cut out all the links, 'aunt tillie' can use a
torrent download, which is self checking.

and yes, 'aunt tillie' can get torrent downloader for msbsos.
