Re: [Lynx-dev] Any idea what one can do about the people who feel the need to block lynx

Hi Claudio: Just an opinion, but I think an Internet culture has gone far 
past our favorite friendly browsers. Yes its rather inconvenient when 
traveling to one of these sites with a 403 error, then having to go in an 
options menu and uncheck the user agent box, before submitting. Sure thats 
anoying, but these sites where you just get a blank page such as that of 
my Cable TV company at spectrum.net
Or these sites like radiodiscussions.com  which employ DOS cloud 
protection. Obviously there are millions of sites which either require 
javascript or make it hard to use without it. Its been many years since I 
was able to talk a webmaster in to restoring a printer friendly page at 
the BBC for one. Now, as so many of these web site owners are so hungup on 
javascript, their minds are made up. But almost as bad, its much more of a 
challenge to write, as "whois" will not show an exact contact. Obviously I 
wish you luck, but short of an FCC or Supreme Court intervention, we may 
be out of luck
