Here's my stupid idea for the day. Start a service:
justthefacts.org or realinfo.org or something whose
mission in life is to eliminate poor WWW design by
being a proxy that filters out graphics, garners the
main pages of the site, and generates a dynamic
page based on the target page that relinks all the text
in a nice, quick, easy to access, layout. Portals
shmortals. Why do the user configurations have to be
at the server side? The client should be able to
redo any WWW page that the user feels is not well formed
for their purposes.

One of my first edits to the Openscape source was to try
and figure out a way to automatically filter out banner ads.
