Bob:

I really like your technique and it certainly works. What I'm afraid 
of is that search engine evaluators may look upon "off-left" as a 
device to fool SE's -- much like setting the text color to the 
background color so that one can have content that is not seen -- and 
thus, ban your site.

Your thoughts?
