Let me say first that I really like the concept of this project. As a
graduate of Ms. Nancy's "White Gloves and Party Manners" conduct school, I
really can appreciate this stuff.
The server push function works well in the project. It seems very appropriate
that manners and codes of conduct be "pushed" upon the viewer. It works
fine, but perhaps not quite as well, in relation to the Nietszche quotes. I
am a reader of average to fast speed and I must say that a few of the pages
disappeared before I could finish-- especially the very first one. Again
though, the server push really works with the conduct codes. I know that Mr.
Unsworth already mentioned this, but I'll say it again, because it was a good
point. All of the instructions are phrased in the negative. "*Don't* do
this, *don't* do that." My mother always said that when you phrase a command
in the negative, the listener (especially an unruly child) only hears the
"not." But, perhaps this is your point-- that these types of codes are
restrictive rather than constructive. If so, it works.
Overall, I really like the work you all have done. There are a few problems
with links in the head returning to the same page, but I'm sure that you are
aware of these kinks and are working them out.
A fine job!
