Not that I don't like it. I'm a thin client enthusiast. I just thought that was funny, in my own geeky way.

Funny in what way? If I came across text too wide for the screen, my first thought wouldn't be to shrink the browser window either. Or was that your point?

Yeah, funny how?

It's a little fucked up maybe, but it's funny how? I mean funny like it's a clown, it amuses you? It makes you laugh, it's here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How is it funny?

i don't know what my point was. I just thought comparing desktop look in a browser based app to transvestitism is hilarious.
