Two Tiny Things

One:
Please don’t use Lightbox or any other colored box unless absolutely necessary. It looks really cool, but it steals away my right to middle-click. I’m telling you, I have tabs and I am not afraid to use them.
Two:
These guys are saying that it’ll take you around seven lifetimes to scroll to the bottom of their page. If anybody finishes this, please let me know, I’d like to know how excessive self-satisfaction feels like.
Actually, they’re still quite useful because you can use the javascript
event model (which is still available since javascript is enabled) to
check for the middle-click and act appropriately.
