Sure. Craigslist takes the same approach. It may look a little

Yep. And it's FAST, and lets you get stuff done. I think most sites
nowadays are designed to dazzle and bamboozle you to the point where you'll
buy something that you otherwise might not have bought. (which is something
I wouldn't put past the suits, of course)

This is the exact reason one of our home pages is straight HTML, W3C
certified. We can test old NIC cards on Win 95 or 98 with no problem! Yes,
the page could look a lot better and still be straight HTML; maybe when I
get time I will re-do it.
There really is no reason that web pages have to be so all-consuming.
Designers seem to think that we want to be overloaded with visual
sensations. Personally, I would much rather get the info I need, and not be
pestered with ads and garbage.
