I couldn't agree with you more and I work for a few fizz pop and flash
websites (I don't have any control over such things). It does make it hard
to parse, visually and programmatically. It's especially hard on people that
are accessing the web from handhelds. I know some sites will redirect to a
mobile page in some cases, but I don't want to visit those pages from my
n800. One of the reasons I bought the thing was so I could view websites in
their native resolution (usually). I say let those who want it have their
nice eye candy, but atleast make it available in some text only format. I
really wish the web looked more like the Debian documentation, but that's
just me :)
