I assume this is a result of the rendering engine and all the small parts of the page that probably aren't rendered efficiently. I suffer through the loading to see EPJ, but it's unlikely I'll do that for two different web sites.Pandemichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315340208949970292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-665277907013534492014-10-10T01:01:38.769-04:002014-10-10T01:01:38.769-04:00I fear change.I fear change.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00964737733311401148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-10384451707143395832014-10-09T19:57:00.345-04:002014-10-09T19:57:00.345-04:00I have been coming here for several years, and no ...I have been coming here for several years, and no matter how my tastes in news have changed, EPJ has remained one of the sites I go to almost daily. Personally I think your proposed change makes sense. The "economics" has become lost sometime among the politics and commentary (which is fine, but does seem to dilute the original intent).
