Re: annoying websites

I'm not Ray, and I have only been scanning these annoying website posts, but
Marc's website has something that I find not really annoying but reduces my
ability to view a website.  In the publishing world there is (or was) a 4"
rule.  That is that if a sentence is longer than 4" it is hard to read
because the eyes get tired and the reader will lose their place.  I find
that sentences that run clear across the screen to be difficult to read.
That's why I like fixed width tables with short sentences that are broken up
with space between paragraphs.  It is difficult enough to read long passages
of text on a monitor as it is.  Just my 2 centavos.
