Okay, fair enough. But there's a philosophy dating back to the early Unix command-line days and still applies, that argues for a building-block approach -- many small building blocks is "better" than one block that does everything.

As I was preparing my reply, I was surprised to see that Lynx wouldn't function with my own website, but worked fine with Google. It turns out that Google knows how to negotiate with a text-only Web client, but it seems that's increasingly rare in modern times.

Too bad -- it speaks to the ascendance of content-heavy sites in modern times, and relatively inflexible server configurations, including my own.
