I'm stuck with a 56K dialup connection. No DSL or cable modem available where I live. So one of the things I like most about FR is the relative lack of graphics. When a FReeper unnecessarily excerpts an article I have to go to the source to read it. And the source is usually loaded down with graphics that take forever to load, pop-up ads, etc. So I endure it all the while cussing under my breath 'cause some lazy FReeper couldn't take the time to post the entire article. You don't seem to understand that all this is secondary to the importance of quidnunc making his point. Unlike you, and me, and Jim Robinson, and most freepers, quidnunc is a man (or woman) of principle, and cannot therefore be held to the accepted standards or conventions of this website he (or she) voluntarily chooses to patronize.
Actually I may have that wrong. The mass irritation quidnunc gratuitously generates is probably not "secondary," but rather part and parcel of making his (or her) point. Some "principled" people are like that.

By so doing you'll save yourself the sturm und drang of having to go to the bother of opening a link.
