Say what you will about Jakob Nielsen (and I know that many designers
pour scorn on his own hair-shirt web page design), but at least he has
the sense to produce actual working designs and try them out on
prospective users, watching them to see how usable the designs are,
rather than merely asking them "in a vacuum" whether they thought it
might be "a good idea". You don't /really/ expect random selections of
people to recognise that, in web terms, you're erecting a pointless
obstacle course that does nothing to promote the (presumed) aim of
selling stuff? I'd say you've received a much clearer answer on that
account from the contributors to this group - too bad that you're
already beyond the clue horizon.

Indeed, you've already made it clear that you started asking late,
after you'd already dug yourself into this hole. But there's a slight
chance that others might stand to learn something from what you're
doing.
