I despise them. I think they're a usability nightmare -- they mess with my expectations of how links work, they slow my responses, they slow my browser, and they're inconsistently applied (default to off for journals vs. on for comms) so they *doubly* mess with my expectations. And, of course, they're virtually useless. What a stupid, stupid, stupid fucking thing.
But if sixapart is so absolutely hellbent on using them, give me an option in my settings that ensures that I never see them *anywhere*. Oh, sure, I can deactive them. On a per-browser basis. That's just great. I work on several different computers, with several different OS's, and several different browsers, and guess what? I keep coming across those fucking things. I told you assholes that I never want to see them again, so that means that I never want to see them again. If I'm logged in to my account, I should never see one. Not ever.
Seriously, learning that this kind of shit isn't good is the whole reason we had the late 90's.
