If somebody -- anybody -- wishes to slog through all five screens and summarize, please do. I just couldn't.

Ha! I was thinking the same thing, but I don't always want to be the complaining one :).

I'm already not happy with a Web site making me click five times just so then can serve me five ads, But I'm in the exact same business, so I understand.

Still, you've got to give me an incentive to keep clicking. Fake (or real) UFO stories just don't do it for me.

Well... there's a bash version of "The towers of Hanoi" in it... Otherwise it's pretty lame.

I like to torture myself occasionally :-) But I still have problems reading Matt Hartley and Patrick Durusau articles though...

Join the Borg, and you'll no longer have that problem.

No, you'll have myriads of other problems...

I made it through the first two paragraphs and realized that it wasn't even worthy for "bathroom reading". Shame to.. David Williams usually has good articles. But not this one.

Don't read the latter. That kind of torture is a violation of the declaration of Human Rights of 1948 against which Amnesty should protest.

Probably against the Geneva Convention, too.

"Probably against the Geneva Convention, too."

They've sent me a couple cease and desist letters as well. Reading back on a few of my blogs, I'm inclined to see the violations.

I can honestly say I suffered through the whole torment(ed/ing) piece. I want those minutes of my life back, including the beer it took to help deaden the pain and suffering.
