Why do people insist upon putting up web pages that are completely unreadable
Some people think that people are going to read a 10 inch column of text that has NO white space at all, no breaks in the text, etc.

Fuck that.

are more websites that are illegible and / or useless than ones you can actually read and use, by a factor af about 100 to 1.

As a Web developer, this makes me just fucking furious - the fact that people (who are not me) get PAID to churn out such worthless garbage. (It also makes me furious about once a day when I try to get some information from, or transact some business through, some horrible piece-of-shit site that just doesn't fucking WORK.)
