[ale] How Do I Join?

[James Sumners]

No one has ever said you can't mock something up and show it off. But
there seems to be very few people on the list that care for flashy web
pages. The only thing the website needs to do is convey the
appropriate information. It doesn't have to be pretty, and not many
people care if it is. ALE, and ale.org, isn't a business. It is a
community of people with a common interest.

If you read back through this thread[1] you'll find that your request
to submit a fresh design was not turned down. Specifically, see [2].

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
