Oh, we *understand* it.  We just refuse to *accept* it.  (I've
been on the net since before it was a "web" too, although my
Usenetizenship has been sporadic... occasionally I get disgusted
and retreat back into mailing lists.  I'm about due.)

Actually, Geocities ranks high on my "most likely to turn images
off" list, just because they're on such a molassic server.  (When
I don't just say "ugh, Geocities... wonder what horribly
intrusive banner method they've concocted this week" and ignore
it outright.)

<sigh> So you're saying the world would be a nicer place if
people would quit trying to make it a nicer place?
