     I have not noticed that, but it really does not matter.  If the
Websites that I find useful tend not to use JavaScript, then I do not
have to enable JavaScript very often.  It does not matter to me if the
proportion of useful sites to non-useful sites is low.  What matters
is the number of useful sites, and yes, I do find enough of them.

     I have found that a Website requiring JavaScript for simple
functionality is a fairly good indication that the Website will not be
useful to me.

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
