hello:
actually what is beeing asked here is if the fluf is all in one place i.e.
the hamburger menu can you omit the skip to. and i say yes if i have to
swipe one to a skip and then to a hamburger and then i am in the content
on the next swipe then why have that tab stop for the skip i say yes remove
the skip if its only skipping one thing. just my thought
