Im going to rant really quick:
This mentality is so retarded. I am so sick of seeing sites done entirely in text and hearing people worship them. It isnt cute clever or ground breaking. When I hear people talk about things like screen readers for blind people, I want puke in my lap. Screen readers? Like, "Oh, dont use the "b" tag, a screen reader doesnt know what that is. Use the "strong" tag instead." This whole thing is so far overboard. If the internet was full of sites that looked like useit.com, the human species would literally reverse evolve. We would be painting on cave walls in no time. Neilson and all the other usability purists will sight studies for eternity. But, at the end of the day, I would much rather read 9px forum posts in a 175px wide column in the PVN than read 14px type on useit.com. Why? you ask. Because I dont read things like a computer. A site that is nothing more that a huge field of type makes my brain hurt. This whole usability thing has gone waaaayyyy to far.
