I don't understand this comment. There was this:
Browser: Links (0.99; OS/2 1 i386; 80x33)
Is that what you mean by, "a stupid little second-class citizen indicator"? It looks like that is part of your post. Are you saying that you did not add it, but OSNews did?
That would seem to be a very odd and inexplicable quirk. But I still think OSNews is about my favorite website, probably because it hits the sweet spot of my interests.

...I thought I'd add this at the end to show that Links 0.99 (in <shudder> text mode) actually DOES work with the GUI site. With cookies, voting, and everything, and all of this in spite of what the OSNews staff seems to (demonstrably) understand about browser capabilities.
You can see from my first response above that the "default" text OSNews site adds a stupid little second-class citizen indicator to postings made with a certain subset of browsers, but OSNews' browser detection code is amusingly dependent on the User Agent being part of a known list.
Why this sort of thing isn't simply an option in the User's account settings is a mystery to me.
Go ahead -- vote this one down. I'm getting close to the point of not caring about this site, anyway...
