A benefit of reading FFL offline in an email client has been brought home to me today. The Yahoo Web interface has been slower than sap drippin' in a Vermont winter. At least using the server that I default to, us.js2.wmlg.com.
Click on a link, wait 30 seconds. Get fed up. Reload, wait another 30 seconds. Click the Send button once, wind up sending two copies. Ick. On the other hand, focusing for a moment on the pearly white teeth of this dead dog, this slowness has meant that I haven't been able to just click past posts in rapid succession. Instead I went to Message View and wound up clicking on only the posts that I really felt like reading, based on the title and one short synopsis of the post's first few lines. Wound up with more unclicked posts than clicked ones. I may read FFL this way all the time; think of the time I'd save. On the other hand, if everybody did this no one would ever read any of my posts. Somebody is reading this, right? :-)
