RE: MetaLink

Apologies for anyone who took offence, but there is a reason for the comment.
In all Western countries AFAIK we read top down left to right and that makes the top left hand of a page a special focal point. That is why primarily the Menu on a website will be found there. In other countries, China I believe is one, the direction of reading is different. Down the page right to left so that would make for them the top right to be more the focal point.

Cultural differences of how we do things and apologies again

Take it OT if anyone has anything further to say

Cheers

countries then perhaps it all seems normal to them 

Is it really appropriate to say that?
