OK, so I look at the source for this web page and see all kinds of javascript and animations wanting to start. Doesn't look like a lynx the cat kind of form.

By the way, www.yousendit.com seems to have no good explanation for why they exist, either. Chris Norman writes: > >Perhaps so. But I'm still out of pocket.
