I understand your concern about the ads, but I don't get
the "community" problem. Why would you disrupt the whole
idea of a "community" if you don't see nodelets? One can
already turn them off in the usersettings, there's even
a button to turn them all off, IIRC.
Or do you consider me not part of the "community" because
I don't bother with the chatterbox? I consider myself part
of the "Perl community", and that something I find scary
enough already - too small, too self centered. I really don't
like to subdivide that into yet smaller communities, should
I be a member of the "communities" of #perl, perlmonks, perladvocates,
perlporters, philly-pms, nyc-pms, amsterdam-pms, fun-with-perlers,
usenetperlers, etc, just because I communicate on a certain
forum? There are only 3 dinners at a YAPC! Furthermore, the
chatterbox has the most awkward interface possible, just a
10 character text box, and you need to pull to see a what
others say. In fact, it's so awful that many people use a
special client for the chatterbox - but if people do, they
would participate without needing the nodelet.
Oh well, not a biggy. The print view gives a nice clean page,
but it looks like you always have to download the "regular"
page first anyway, so I probably will mostly use the regular
pages.
