Assuming I am Typical

I spent alot of my time today on the Net. Visiting other people's Blogs to be honest, and let me tell you that it was totally aggravating to me.
I will share with you my thoughts as I was reading and trying to Post comments, notice the word "trying".
First I am thinking why the hell do they make the fonts so small. I wear glasses and even those didn't help on some of the Sites I visited and left without reading more than five words.
Then I am thinking, if the Comment needs the Blog Owner's approval before being posted, then why the hell do they use that word verification thingy on top of it? Frankly, that just takes too long and is way to irritating to me so I left some Sites without commenting, Yep, I am guilty of that instant gratification thing - anything over 3 seconds and you've lost me!
Another thing I noticed is that I really didn't bother much with anything that wasn't right there in the first two Posts. If you didn't catch my interest by then, I was gone.
(Reminder to self!)
The last thing that irritated me was some of the really long load times. I have DSL so this should almost never happen, but it did. My View of "It" Load Time is: 0.48 seconds -

(another note to self)
I was irritated and stopped and decided to write this little Post instead. Do with it what you will.
