"I have just read this month's forum by Bill Riedel. Since I am a rad
worker he can do no wrong. But gads, what a pain in the ___. It took me
about half and hour to get through it. Most of the time staring at the
hourglass in the middle of the screen. This resulted in a very disjunct
reading. I finally printed a hard copy of everything so I can re-read it
at my leisure. Did anyone else find all the "clicking" and loading annoying
or am I just slow to catch on to this new stuff? "

and I responded:

"Precisely.  That was what prompted my 'Marry, or partially mirror, ...'
message.  I had no idea that a simple hypertext piece like that would be
such a pain, trans-Atlantically.
Thank you for reinforcing the point.  I'm sorry for your time and pain."


to which I would add:

", and for the time and pain of others on this side of the Atlantic who
looked at it."
