Hi Kinkie,

    Please remove the background image. I know you like it a lot, but
almost all people who cared to comment were destructed by it, some even
after you toned it down further. Moreover, it is the only thing people
seem to complain about! I am now convinced it was not just me, and it
will remain a problem even if you tone it down some more.

        Let's face it: it was a great experiment, but it showed that the idea
should be abandoned.

Thank you,

Alex.
