Is it just my browser, or is this page formatted for Japanese? I get 6 columns of 5 letters per column which makes for a highly unreadable article. Does anyone proof read this site? After perusing the html source code, I would advise removing the br tags after every 5 spaces. btw here is the page link in case you can't find it: http://mag.awn.com/index.php3?ltype=comments&article_no=781
