Jeez, I really don't understand how people can misunderstand me.  I
mean, I wrote it there, in plain English, right from the get-go.  I
even specifically said that I'm not requesting JavaScript help of
them, but inquiring why perfectly valid script that runs as intended
on my end does not when uploaded to them.

Now how's that asking them for JavaScript help??

This is one aspect of human nature I'm afraid I shall never
understand.  I say "A" and even go on to specifically say that I'm not
saying "B" and still people will say that I'm saying "B"!!  =(

SBI! was started in 1997, so they have a solid record as a business,
it seems.  Still, in less than three months I'm growing disillusioned
enough to start thinking about another webhost.  What's keeping me
around is their SEO claims and my own lack of knowledge about SEO.

Indeed, and I do hope to make money from my upcoming site, if not
achieve the full financial independence for which "structural
engineering" SBI! claims to offer.

Despite my growing though still fairly slight disillusionment, I was
thinking about just sticking with SBI! for another year or even two to
keep learning (particularly about SEO) and see what happens -- but
silly stuff like this simple image-swap weirdness makes me really
question them....
