   I have a wide screen and it shows as a bunch of columns that don't fit (there are a lot more on the right), and I have to scroll down for each column. At one point, the boxed text showed a slight rotation, possibly due to vertigo and

   The layout is so disturbing I could not read it, even though it's exactly my cuppa! Please use a lot more space, especially between columns. Tilting text creates a sense of vertigo, making it really hard to concentrate, for some of us

    Please look up the definition of psychopathy. I can see that you are impressed by his wealth and title, but I owe this community a voice to balance yours.

    I have a hard time imagining a scenario in which my hard-earned, fully-documented, all-taxes-paid cash, withdrawn from my account can amount to money laundering. But whatever.
