To me responsive design, the one size fits all, helps me so that I'm not
having to support multiple sites for our company. Given the introduction of
all sort of devices and screen sizes in order to support such a broad array
of displays if it isn't designed as responsive then I have to worry about
creating so many interfaces that users that switch from one device to
another has to learn another path to gather information. I'm only having to
support one interface instead of many, although I believe the zoom feature
needs to stay implemented for those of us that need a bit more
magnification for comfortable reading.

I realize now that I stepped into the middle of a debate that has gone
on for some time. My understanding was limited, and my appreciation is
masked by my own limitations.
I still do not understand the desire for a one-size-fits-all solution.
The limitations to the design choices are just too overwhelming to make
that a practical goal. In my opinion.
But so what. That is not any part of this discussion. Sorry for the
intrusion.

I don't really understand the point you were trying to make To be honest.
Your page just shows an example of a menu system - nothing new there. But
this thread is about how the look and feel responds when delivered on a
smaller device. Yours doesn't "respond" at all - it is just the same page
on a small screen. Having the menu collapse into a three bar button is a
common, intuitive approach - so the idea was for you to view and assess it
on such a device. You don't get "hover" and "tooltip" when you are using
your finger to operate a mobile touch screen. Also, you don't necessarily
have to sacrifice functionality - you just need to be clever enough to
modify the UI to suit the screen size, which includes collapsing widgets
and bigger text.
