Offtopic: I loved the cartoon character on the website. He popped up on one side when I was in the middle of the article and said "Hope I did not startle you. May I interest you in my newsletter?". I said "No thanks" and he went away. And when I reached the end of the article, there he was again -- sitting on a small mound, and waiting patiently for me to finish reading and get there eventually. Somehow it felt very "natural" that he would wait for me at the end -- knowing I would meet him there again, just in case if he could be of any help. Loved the little touch. Not sure if the author/designer meant it this way though.
