Andy,

FWIW, I'm in charge of dl-design review, and you're on it, so you should =
have no trouble sending to it. If you do, please let me know.

Well, in this case, you should reply to the whole list, because this is =
the area where I am requesting feedback, and I think that every needs to =
hear everyone's opinions. The sizes I started with are arbitrary, and I =
am hoping to get feedback like this to figure out what they should =
really be.

So far I cannot send to dl-designreview because I apparently don't have =
'permission'.  I've asked Kevin if he could please fix that, but I =
havent' heard back from him.  Hence I tried to create my own list but =
that is not ideal.  Let's see if this one goes through.

Cheers,

a
