[Bioc-devel] support site

[Martin Morgan]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm a little puzzled by the 'Messages' being somehow 
disproportionately large and wonder whether that's a browser-specific thing. I 
also find things a little noisy.

Here's a cheap fix -- narrow your browser window. The site will go into 'mobile' 
mode, with nice clean presentation.

The site layout looks a bit too cluttered to me, with all these boxes of votes, views and response counts in different colours, breathless reporting of recent locations, bold face subject headers and what not. Of course, these things are a matter of taste, although I am sure there also now lots of people who approach this topic scientifically and rationally.
