My only thought on this whole thing is why is the world seeming to force
everyone to use scripted web pages? What on earth is wrong with just
plain HTML? I often prefer to run with scripting disabled either because
it is so buggy on some browsers I use (at work I use Netscape 3 because
in their infinite wisdom of thinking they know how I want to view the
world, my preferred window arrangement for mail and news is gone), or
just out of a preference of having more control over my web viewing
(like not getting trapped by those "we're going to open our advertising
windows faster than you can close them so you can't even look at the web
site you were interested in, or anything else").
