Hold the phone. No View Source? At the risk of hyperbole, I believe that "View source" is the single technology that enabled the popular web. How else did everyone learn broke-ass HTML but from reading others' code? (You know it wasn't FrontPage.) In fact, I was nearly giddy 2 days ago when I "view(ed) source" on the interactive google logo and saw actual javascript code laid out right in front of me! I'll flip a car if View Source goes away.
