Sorry about that last post. I pasted in the excerpts and then realized that even those were too long, so I put them behind a cut tag.

I know some folks hate cut tags. Moreover, it seems remarkably awkward to have a cut to excerpts *and* a link to the full article. I'm not really satisfied with the result, particularly as a rather sharp observation on gender and conversation is now hidden behind the cut.

Feh.

Edit: Aaargh. Actually, that observation is the second cut tag. What's now hidden is the hilarious conversation between the writer and Stefan Alfsson, an ex-trawler captain, ex-banker.

If one has a slow connection and relatively high click-through overhead, cut-tags are a pain -- it's preferable to have all the content load at once.

It's not an issue for me anymore, but at my old job it was -- slow connection + a browser without tabs made cut-tags a pain. It made me pretty cranky when people would insist they were the only polite choice.

Again, no longer an issue for me -- tabbed browsing changes everything. But it was really annoying.

That makes sense.

Me, I'd be lost without the Firefox add-on "Livejournal Addons", which has a cut-tag expander (along with "Instant Comment").

I love those so much that I'm ignoring even trying Safari 4 because I won't work without those.
