Yep, I've been there. Those "I'm really stupid, so I forgot to write a page
that you can actually read" error messages. And then, when you tell them you
turned off frames, they first cannot believe you ("You turned off *FRAMES*?
Why would you possibly want to do that!?") then they think it's an on-screen
toggle ("Why don't you turn it on before coming to my site?").

With that kind of intelligence, how could structural information have any
hope to survive?
