yeah, because if I want to steal content can't just go under the View
menu to Source....

all it does is make it a pain in the ass to copy text for reference or
referral, to open the page in a new tab/window which is quite often
useful or get around the poor color choices.

and requiring javascript is just a Bad Idea. it limits accessibility
and it depends on potentially buggier parts of browsers that are
susceptible to code with more possibilities for errors. with any luck,
it's also against web standard recommendations, but it's not like
anyone pays attention to any good coding standards anyway....
