A note to the Management.

Dear LJ:

Your Navigation Strip is ugly and annoying. Please do not turn it on without my permission. Please do not turn it on without other people's permission. Please do not put the commands for making it GO THE FUCK AWAY it in a new, even more obscure section of the labyrinthine near-unnavigable clusterfuck that is the redesigned LJ Settings section. I do not need to be told that I'm looking at a friend's LJ as if I don't already know the people on my flist. I do not need to be told when I'm looking at my own journal, as my IQ is higher than the freezing point of water. I. DO. NOT. WANT. IT. And if I see your Navigation Strip on the street, it is on.

Love and Smoochies,

In my experience, when a website pitches an unnecessary option this hard, it's usually because they're planning on putting advertising on it.

ETA: OH SHIT. It's defaulted to "on" on all communities too. ARG. *headdesk*

Ah, thank god I'm not the only one that hates this stupid thing. *kicks it*

I wonder if LJ will take user petitions to get rid of the damn thing.

I'd sign in an instant. It's a ridiculous piece of html. Seriously. Who thought that up?

*writing smo/ace finally* XD

Some executive, probably. I shudder to think that an actual web designer may have had a hand in coming up with this.
