Gripes

You may use email or a submit form for your gripe.

I suppose this is a happy world. Before you lies all the gripes since the beginning of 1998.

"You shouln't write in dark blue on a black background--it is quite hard to read. Just consider this as a piece of advice."

--Melanie Thanks for the constructive criticism, Melanie. I'm not changing anything for two reasons:
The link colors are up to whoever's viewing the page (I didn't specify them).
I have no problem reading the links and I'm using a very small font at very high resolution. This is a poor reason, but really the whole thing is about what I like anyway.
I'll keep the suggestion in mind if I ever feel like a revision. How about red? I used that on my literature page. All in all, sound advice even though I'm choosing not to heed it.

"GeoCities pages all suck. Yours too. Most aren't about anything interesting and the rest are full of broken links and broken images. What crap."

--name witheld You're looking at my crap voluntarily.

"There are too many pages on the Web. Too many people like you are cluttering it up with a bunch of junk and making it hard to find anything worthwhile. These pages all fall into two categories:

'Look at how much Java I can do.'
'I know about five HTML tags so here they are.'

Which one are we looking at right now?"
--name witheld *sigh* Alas, I agree all too much. I am guilty as charged.

"You're mean. Why do you make fun of people?"

--name witheld In short, you've answered your own question. The long version is that I do not seekfaults to point out, but find some people who need a little satire --or something stronger-- to spur them forward.

I am reminded of a line from a French film I once had the misfortune to sit through --the only redeemable line in the film, I assure you, and one of the few worthwile thoughts to come out of that country: "Have you ever had one of those days when everyone you see is an idiot, then you look in the mirror and wonder?"

I may have muddled it a bit between my memory and my translation, but there it is. It, of course, relates to the short answer more than the long.

"I want you to update. Sometime. Soon.

"Here are some reasons for you to not like me. Ha."
People who send email with blank subjects
    "~I do that sometimes."
People with long signatures
    "~Sometimes I have those."
Yuppies: Definitely yuppies
    "~If I was American, I might be a yuppie."
People with Web pages
    "~I have one of those. As do you. But I know that's why you put it."
Women
    "~Ummmm... You know."
People who look for excuses
    "~Sometimes I do that. Because I'm a woman, I guess."
The English
    "~I'm a little bit English.
~Despite all that, I LIKE YOU. ~sweet smile~"

--Jennifer Darling

There isn't a whole lot for me to say to that. I'll start by pointing out that you overlooked an update i made not three days before your submission. I'll conclude by promising to hate you if that's what you want.

I would also like to point out that this is the most long-winded gripe i have. Perhaps because it's one of the two I didn't write myself ( did I say that out loud?). Yes, this paragraph isafter what I said would be the conclusion. One more testament to my worthlessness and incompetence.
