I haven't looked at it. I was just saying that the layout was like this:
+---------+ blah blah
| xxxx | blah blah blah yup blah, I know.
| yyyy | blah blah blah yup uh hah, I know.
| | blah blah blah yup blat
| | blah blah blah yup blaz
| | blah blah blah yup blap
| | blah blah blah yup blaque
+---------+ blah blah
blah blah blah
I always found that a little jarring.
