Actually, I'm not responsible for any of the web sites ... www.* is
maintained by Vince ... the problem is that its 'menu system' wasn't well
designed way back when for adding items :( No fault of Vince, I believe
he just inherited it (it was so long ago, I don't remember who did the
site itself) ...

The key problem is that the menu items on the left of teh screen are all
graphics, so adding/removing is a royal pain :( Vince has been working on
a redesign of the site, its just slow with everything else on the go :(
