Well, I'm not attracted to them;  but if I wanted to go there and I was
having a browser security conflict, I would give the site a higher
security clearance.  I use all 4 of my browser's site classifications;
restricted, internet, intranet, and trusted -- and all of them are
custom configured.  Restricted is extremely tight.  Internet is very
tight and interferes with a number of functions which a fair number of
sites would like to use.  Those sites which I would like to have more
leeway I put into intranet.  I don't usually use trusted, except for
such as microsoft's update site.

So, intranet is my most common upgraded security clearance.

I've never posted in the forum;  and when links are posted to something
in there typically it takes me a lot of 'messing around' to try to find
something.  I don't like to go to the forum to read something which has
been referred here.  It takes too long.  I would just as soon hunt it
down from scratch with google or something.

When I post a link to something on a webpage, I typically accompany my
link with a little bit of clipping from the page or article to 'nail'
what it is we are talking about or the essence of the article.
