Then, just to add salt to the already smarting wounds, you find the
site has won some bloody web building award!!!!!!  WHAT?????  The
fishing club I am a member of has just this sort of set up and yes
they won an award for it.  It's bloody horrible!!!!!

Oh, my other pet hate is where sites are only configured for one
resolution.  As is the new Yahoo Mail layout.  It's awful with my res'
of 800x600.  I don't want to change my resolution, why should I?  That
smacks of Microsoft dictatorship :-(
