I am using a text-only browser with no Javascript engine. I also make HTTP requests with non-browser clients. Without Javascript, most if not all of those "thousands of reasons" do not work and in a text-only environment they accomplish nothing for me.
I do not block all AJAX-triggered HTTP requests. For the ones I might need to make in order to retrieve content, I make them without using Javasscript, outside the browser.
Being called names without repercussion always proves that HN policies do not apply to everyone. It also indicates there is no cogent counter argument to make. More name-calling please. :)
None taken. I missed the poetic though. Nice work. :)
If HN commenters want to protest over when and how one user uses her own computers and her own network, I welcome the entertainment. I'm bored today so foolishly responding to every comment, no matter how stupid.
