Randy and his team, and you, are all doing a fantastic job. Like I said in my post, I love this site. All I meant was a suggestion, and I did not intend for it to be a rant. My "suggestion" was not to plaster a "search not available" all over the screen, but PERHAPS (if it made sense i.e. was cost effective) to have an announcement when you enter the site, and the cookie can be used to track that you don't want to see the message anymore.
Just a thought. Anyway, thanks for the work you do keeping this site a good one.
