Re: NUTS!

Actually the best approach might be to get some of these folks designing web 
pages to actually take a look at the crap they are putting out there...

I still perfer the lynx approach to displaying the page as text and if one 
wants to actually view the "cutesy" stuff a webmaster feels is necessary to 
put on a web page to have the option of downloading it.  I, for one, could do 
without all of this animated gif crap, or these progressive jpg files 
displayed on a page and REALLY could do without the JAVA or any of it's 
related forms...  When I go to view a web page, I am simply looking (for the 
most part) for information.  Even though the saying goes "A picture is worth a 
thousand words" there are a VERY LARGE number of webmasters that need to take 
a second look at the pictures that they are using to convey these words...
