Right, impose your worldview on what's going on rather that looking
at the reallity of the situation. Nice metaphor...

Heh.


LOL. This pretty much mirrors my thinking. Even more amusing when you consider the Fool's rabidly anti-establishment, pro-individual political views. :-D


I have this problem on perhaps 2% of the sites I visit, and I am a _very_ active surfer. Imo, it's simply not worth going to any trouble over. If I could easily click a toggle and reload only the pages I choose with custom settings then I'd truly be happy. But as long as the colors are an all-or-nothing deal I don't want to risk missing out on content. Besides, variety is good!
