I sent in a comment several days ago bitching about the many problems on
the site, and got almost the same exact response as previously posted here,
word for word.  Sort of feels now like one of those sweepstakes letters
where your name has been printed in to a form letter to try and make it
seem more "personal."   I doubt anyone on the other end is really
listening. Very sad.  Some gullible management person got sold a 1998-style
portal concept sans any actual impact studies as to their readership....
and I'm quite sure the outsourcing contract doesn't allow for backing out
of the changes.  I will sorely lament the old site. Suppose I should be
happy we had it so good for so long.

Thanks for the info, Jason, Mary Beth and Roger... I was too
discouraged to give WRAL any feedback, but now I think I will give it
a shot.

Also, were they not an award winning website with the previous design?
