I don't know, are you always this easily offended?

This is no way to conduct a fight. You two pussycats are banned for
24 hours to give you time to develop some real claws. Look into
extra long finger nails that are worn over natural ones (like false
eyelashes). You might find or adapt (sharpen) suitable ones.

This is the most useless response I've read in the last 55 seconds.

You should do a speed reading course then...

kicked me out of class for staring at the secretary's legs.

I assume you wish for me to speak more on the subject of speed reading?
Right? Course, you dooooo...

I did a speed reading course once. It was forced on me. Before the
course began I was the slowest by a long way of a big group. But in the
comprehension test, they were, as group, a long way behind me. After
the course, their reading speeds jumped even further ahead as a
percentage of mine but their comprehension grew less as a percentage of
mine. Slowcoach dorayme remembers this with pride.

I always suspected speed-reading consisted of basically only reading
half of it.

The corollary is that only half of it is worth reading. For many texts
you're lucky if as much as a half is worth reading, hence the utility of
speed-reading.

The trick is finding which bits are worth reading for which the most
important thing is finely-tuned bogosity detectors.

Your site says:

... when I look at it with Opera 9.27 (Linux).

Your browser is identifying itself as IE (as well as Opera), a
configurable setting. However, I made a change and it should work now
as-is.

I made a change too. :-)

Much truth in this. When one reads for oneself, one knows to some extent
what to look for. When reading to be tested by examiners in the course I
was in, I had no idea what they would have thought important (and
neither did anyone else as can be seen by above tale).

And thanks for the pic. It's a good 'un!
