I don't intend to trash either Glen or Jon, but I want to express my hearty agreement with you (Nick) about footnotes (as well as endnotes). For someone like myself with ADD/OCD tendencies, I just can't skip past one of these damn things without chasing said footnote/endnote. Since I read everything electronically these days, it's a major pain to get back to where I was, especially in PDF documents without good navigational facilities. And embedded URLs in web content? I think I've done a depth first search of the entire internet by now and haven't ever popped the stack back to the original document I was trying to read in the first place. As you said, PURE EVIL! Tongue firmly in cheek :-)
