Say, how about losing the HTML, dropping all the graphics, and putting up a direct dial BBS with straight 7 bit text graphics? ;)

In that case, I might give it a shot if I could somehow dial in directly. That means disclosing the phone number associated with the website, and basically opting out of the worldwide web, and my eating the phone bills as they come due - as was the case in the olden days.

You can't imagine the number of people who have been trying to get me to click on their website so they can blank out my screen (it happens with alarming regularity) and pump tons of mysterious binary stuff into my computer (so it can be renamed subsequently and without my permission) makes me afraid of what on earth I might pick up at distant websites. If you can remember the olden days (so much safer and so much slower), you'll not wonder at my reluctance to go there.
