Hi Rick
I'm glad to hear about the positive side to my header/footer.
I don't like anything flashing since it distracts me from the reading
text that's really the most important thing. Also I use an ad blocker in
my firefox browser called "AdBlocker Ultimate".
I think one of my pages may have an automatically playing small video
that uses adobe flash, it was written before the days of the "<video>"
html tag that allows playing of videos in a webpage, prior to that it
was necessary to use adobe flash to play a flv video in a web page. I
haven't rewritten those old pages since they still work, however, I
redid the menu around last year since these days there is no need for a
third party software application to generate menu html/css/js code:
http://free.jevan.com.au/3d/dazStudio/3d-dazStudio.php
At the URL above the menu is just a single link at the top of the page
which takes you down to the bottom of the page where all the links are
for the menu, categorized into each menu header.
From the page below it looks like the "<video>" tag only support mp4,
ogg, and webm but only mp4 is supported in all browsers:
https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_video.asp
So I could convert the video to .mp4 in order to avoid the requirement
to need the adobe flash plugin in the browser to play an ".flv" small
file size video.
As to the popup on:
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/jerry-rigged
They are annoying I don't like those popup ads, when it pops up I have
to resize the window to full screen by clicking the "maximize" square
button at the top right, so that I can see the top right "x" to close
the popup, then i click maximize again to undo the maximize. My ad
blocker in firefox does not stop those popups like the one on
"www.merriam-webster.com".

Hmmm ... I see a difference here. Your headers ain't so annoying as
they are static. So, perhaps we like
you in a static way.
The stickies that peeve the most are animated, changing size and
popping in and out of existence while
one navigates the page. This distracts from the task at hand and
defocusses the reader.
An example from the CBC:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/slave-lake-still-on-wildfire-evacuation-alert-1.5158914
Scroll down and enjoy the show. Then stop. More show. Then point to
the top of the page and
a menu bar appears. JS magick!
And an example of a mutant variable sticky "header" which is actually
a "right-sider":
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/jerry-rigged
Scroll abut 1/2 way down the page and stop. Wait for it: a "learn more
from M-W" box pops up
on the RHS of the page, near the bottom. Never fails to annoy me while
I am reading a word
definition.

I like sticky headers and on my website www.jevan.com.au I have two
sticky header lines and one sticky footer line.
I suspect that people who say they don't like sticky headers possibly
don't like me at all.

people who are on a Centrelink payment such as unemployed, disability,
or retired, since they can benefit from me and since it allows me to
give back to Centrelink, and also, if female friends then age 49+ and
less attractive so that they will find me attractive, also probably
overweight since I am overweight. However I can also work with highly
skilled people since I can make use of what I get from them that is
useful for me to be able to work with interesting concepts. Me:
