I actually like the idea pretty much. The only thing is, i dont think we 
should bore user and take him to any other page. The second user feels bored, 
he'll close the tab. IMHO, user should get what this page is and gets 
convinced that he should click on 'Join now' button very fast. 

Also, by now user probably knows 'how' he is going to achieve the tree items. 
He doesnt need to 'learn' that at this point.

I actually hoped we could get this up and running for release. So we're 
already late. Im hoping we can get it running by the time it gets more 
attention, like before getting slashdotted.

please remember that we are already showing a few pieces of text to user. This 
isnt a very advanced topic. We should be able to describe the whole thing in a 
few sentences. Or user gets bored.
Maybe a menu item in menu that points to such a page would be cool, but IMHO, 
we shouldnt really insist on it.

will do it soon.


p.s: this kind of feedback is very very awesome and motivating. makes me feel 
like people really really care. Thanks!
