Oh no, your comments were great. What was hard to follow was the original paper. ;) Once I figured out that "sights" (as in "These sights allow for a person to share parts of themselves") meant "sites" I think I sort of understood what the author was trying to say. Sort of.

BTW, have you seen Web Pages That Suck? Should be right up your alley. :)
