Gnarl,
Listen to the others. You completely ignore what the user might have
going on their own machine.
For instance, what happens if I'm carrying on a conversation? Or
listening to a radio show? Or other music?
When that happens to me, I leave the site immediately, never to return.
I don't even stop long enough to see what it has to say.
