That's awesome, because the Millennial Generation seems unable to 
express its emotions these days unless it's a "meme" picture chosen to 
represent a group-validated point of view.  Go to Reddit's AdviceAnimals 
section if you don't believe me.  At first it's fun and funny, and 
within days it becomes depressing: is there no other way to express your 
thoughts?

On the other hand, I know of one or two news sites that would be 
improved by this extension.

I do quite a bit of manipulation to such sites as might benefit from this 
extension but I do it via Greasemonkey...sometimes by ready made scripts 
and sometimes by making my own...it's easy enough for goodness sake. The 
extension in question is a bit of a hammer to crack a nut...it does what 
it says it does but it's a drastic way to do it.

And if you use it on slashdot's beta, it takes a little while to see that anything's changed.

Well, the blank "boxes" would be a bit smaller, and it would bring
whitespace up to about 98%, which seems to have been their goal ...
