Likewise.  It's ridiculous the conglomeration of crap scripts people
add to web pages, often because they can't actually create code
themselves.  It's a security risk for both sides, because any of those
scripts could change at any moment.  And when you're in a country with
slow internet it really drags things down (having a 50 Mb/s local
connection means very little when nearly everything goes through much
slower overseas links).

The other thing I'd noticed back when I had a very dynamic IP (on an
ISP with incredibly short lease time, so that you could disconnect and
reconnect and get a new IP to try and duck some traffic problems), was
that if you acquired the IP from someone who'd been torrenting, or
filesharing, that you'd get bombarded with gazillion connection
requests for a very long time.  That really upset my ADSL modem.
