       John Thielking is considering hiring someone to write code to fix 
a Google mobile rendering problem he has identified: Specifically, 
certain tables get improperly rendered on certain mobile devices.  He 
has seen this problem with peacemovies.com and with the Santa Clara 
Greens web site.  If he can find someone who can fix that problem with a 
single line of HTML, he proposed to pay for it out of his 
peacemovies.com budget, and share the solution with the Green party.


       Thanks for the question.  My note taking broke down at that 
point.  Please excuse.


       Spencer
