Whoa. At some point I realized that I was at peace with the web because my eye balls would automatically repel from all of the pulsating/spinny/blinky crap on the sides of web pages. So apparently my mind works a bit differently than yours. My brain must have, at some point, grown entire subnetworks of neurons dedicated to spam blocking. I have come to consciously realize this as well, and become incredibly thankful to it at the same time. Nick, you have my sympathies. Unfortunately for me, conceptual distractions are the bane of my existence. Really, I should be doing homework right now. But I'm not. I'm doing this instead.
