Pet peeves

I'm getting sick of the flaky behavior of Agentreader. The program is so terrible that if you wanted to make it read Moby Dick, it would ignore the "call me Ishmael" and skip to the finale where Ahab is spearing the killer whale. It used to read vertical brackets | but now whenever one is on the page, it just says nothing when you push play, or it reads from the bottom of the page. Some pages don't have it and it still does it. Not sure if it's due to me downloading new characters or what, but it makes me want to scream. Also, the public library has Explorer 10 or something awful like that and it keeps prompting me to save every file as an mht, which is garbage. I want html files. It makes downloading slow from their computers, because the .mht option is always highlighted and I have to manually switch it to another type. I discovered a little too late that you also have the option to download html only and html full. When you do html only, it only gives the document, and if you want to search for anything on the page, my old version of explorer chokes and gives me an error message. So have to slowly scroll down and see what I've highlighted.
Of course, considering the fact that Livejournal is basically a website full of people who think they're writing in a private journal when it's really online for everyone to see (if it wasn't, I wouldn't be able to see it!), it's probably a waste for me to read them anyway. Half the people just get offended and cuss me out because they think it's a real diary. Well, it might be your diary, but I can surf in through your friend's pages, so get a clue. But I need to get a clue as well and to not shout "the emperor has no clothes" when they're showing off their new duds.

I have just discovered that since I told Agent Reader to not pronounce the vertical bracket on a website, it will skip to the bottom of any page I select, which pisses me off to no end. The only solution is to edit the html code and erase all vertical brackets, or (horrors) have the thing say "vertical bracket end bracket" ad infinitum. Then I will dream about a robot saying "vertical bracket".
