    Ok, what's "decorative" with overriding my system and resizing windows on my computer? I don't really care how long it takes to resize it back again, because it shouldn't be necessary. If you want the browser window to be a certain size, use a popup window. My main browser window _should not_ be controlled by some javascript I never asked for. I'm happy to avoid such sites, only I never know what sites use this annoying technology without a warning. So please people, TELL ME before you start overriding my preferences.

    I wouldn't be having this rant if it was a "small annoyance". It's irresponsible design / code, and it's spreading. "Ordinary people" get confused by seeing their browser window bounce back and forth like it's outta control.
