Yes, I know ;-) The change to text-nav order was intentional is all I said.

But again this is a disagreement of who the audience is. Newby visitors 
are better served by having text to read telling them where they are 
than by a bunch of links. And yes this is a shift in Boost public image

more they are put off by the "expert" look and feel of the pages.
