I don't recall saying that you should, either. ISTM, however, that as
more sites jump on this multimedia/make-every-freakin'-thing-interactive
bandwagon, there are fewer good alternatives out there for those of us
who just want plain old uncluttered usable info without the glitz. :(

For example: I frequented a well-known weather site for several years,
but at some point it seemed more interested in having me watch
non-weather related videos and ads than showing me anything about (gasp)
*weather*. The site I use now isn't "pretty" but it's got great info and
they don't make me jump through hoops to get to it.

It took me weeks to find any site with sufficient local info that wasn't
a real PITA to use. Why should this be so hard? :(
