I hadn't located this thread and I sent Steve an email about the slow opening of the main page. He directed me here and I am still having the problem as some others are also. The header for the main page loads and than it takes forever for the completion. I am using DSL and I do not have a problem with any other sites. I am just writing this so that you will know that others are experiencing the same thing. I have all the time in the world being retired and old and I really enjoy this site.
