I haven't looked at it.  I was just saying that the layout was like this:

+---------+  blah blah
| xxxx    |  blah blah blah yup blah, I know.
| yyyy    |  blah blah blah yup uh hah, I know.
|         |  blah blah blah yup blat
|         |  blah blah blah yup blaz
|         |  blah blah blah yup blap
|         |  blah blah blah yup blaque
+---------+  blah blah
blah blah blah

I always found that a little jarring.
