Why is the entire internet turning into a 21st-century version of Geocities, with every hack web designer coming up with new and innovative ways to piss off users who just want to see some content? Do designers really think users want to be annoyed by some scrolling display? Are they the internet's new sadists, tempting us with interesting content, only to subject us to by badly designed, incompatible, painful interfaces? I still have nightmares about mouseover pop-up boxes. Leave my god damn scroll wheel alone.
