Thank you.

The topic caught me in a cranky mood.

I am often irritated with webmasters who just *must* use javascript
for navigation and delight in roll-over a menu because it appeals to
them. It doesn't appeal to me when I am trying to use it; if I fail to
move the mouse along a perfectly horizontal line, and I get to start
over. Then I want to spit on their "appealing" design.

In my opinion, a web page is broken if it doesn't cooperate with
right-click, open-in-new-tab. Giving me a javascript
something-or-other in the address bar of the new tab does me no good.

Likewise webmasters who decide for me what functionality my browser
should have, or who think they have oh-so-valuable content that they
want to "protect" from someone who has no interest in using it
commercially. While those who *do* want to use it commercially will
have little trouble stealing it from one who relies on the tricks
available here.

Making my toolbars go away is a sure way to annoy me.

But thanks again for the link and for your informative site.
