OK, well just let me know if I do that, I really try to understand what 
someone is saying, I don't jump off the keyboard and reply because I got a 
hot finger (at least I try not to).

In english you wrote "but there isn't any way to log-in to that set-up", 
which would be part two of that sentence, like saying "lo-fi, no cookies, 
no http auth, no milk" which has four parts. so I don't understand what you 
are saying there. Now I read it all again, it looks like you are replying 
to two statements, but it comes out as one statement. I think you are 
refering to logging into the formun setup, but the connection is about as 
clear as mud (I had to read it 4 times to get that far).

Well, none of that has even a little to do with Lynx, since it don't 
display any of that. Lynx may show graphics links, but they can be 
suppressed, I think completely suppressed (but don't remember exactly).

Besides, placing crud at the top of your pages severly hurts your search 
engine rankings since it lowers relevence. It depends on your needs, but I 
generally put text content first, navigation second, then flash last.
I know you have limits, and I'm not real concerned anyway.
