The goal is to make this website multilingual. In all sections that are several hundreds pages of listings, news and ratings that are multilingual. Pictures slow down your computer. When you want to look at pretty pictures, you go to a museum. You browse the web to find information, as quickly as possible.
Graphics is usually only an annoyance for people who are looking for information.
Advertising is not the way I support myself. Advertising sends away visitors. I make my living by writing articles and books. I charge for some information that is available on this website only to subscribers. I have thousands of links to places like the dutch database of progressive-rock and University of Arizona's bibliography of mind.
