Re: All Webmasters - DO NOT Change Your Home Page

Hi Andrew, I respect your opinion.  However, I do not find it disruptive to
display a small animated U.S. flag gif in the upper right-hand corner of my
three pages (they are not business-related), but have to do with my hobby.
I do not believe that the terrorists will see small flags posted on web
pages as a sign of their disruption--they have other evidence of that.
Hopefully every time they see an American flag it will remind them that
their time will come!
