Hi, Shelley:

By this, I take it you mean the fact that TMC "frames" the sites it links to
is a frustration to you? Cause it's not that the site replaces the URL, it
just keeps TMC URL up in the "where am I?" line.

Personally, I get around this in *all* framed sites by right clicking on PC
or Click-and-Hold on Mac until I get a little option to "open resource in
new window" (or some such option). At that point, of course, i'm spawing a
new browser window.

Please write TMC and tell them of your frustration -- we could "solve" this
problem by spawning a new browser window -- and give it a name, so that all
TMC links would open in ONE window.
