Stop for a moment and imagine this. No really, think. There would be...

NO pages full of huge jpegs and gifs, just the information you were looking for...

NO waiting 10 minutes for that useless Flash intro...

NO "do you want to accept a cookie from this site"...

NO hideous drug-inspired backgrounds, clashing with the text...

NO midi renditions of the M*A*S*H theme tune, over and over...

NO wacky javascript pointers...

NO framesets preventing the disabled from using your site...

NO fonts set two sizes smaller than your comfortable reading size...

NO rotating logo java applets crashing your browser...
