Speaking from the vantage point of someone with rapidly degenerating cognition AND who is at extreme poverty level low income, you nailed my personal experiences several times over here.. Cognitively speaking, I have numerous times run circles clicking a link for a webpage I don't (cognitively) recognize/register I'm already on.. Speaking as a low income dialup user, I have had to do exactly what is described and that is to sit and wait.... and wait.... and wait for the social networking coded/link heavy page I was already on to reload.. Out of frustration after it happens a few times on any given site, I have more than a few times gone surfing somewhere else for whatever information I may have been seeking at the time.. As also stated, whoever owns the webpage I've just repeatedly reloaded is suffering that additional load on their server, however large or small that load may be depending on the site owner's web developer abilities.. :) Just thinking out loud.. Warmest wishes from North Georgia.. :) Cindy-Sue - :: - Cindy-Sue Causey http://BackyardPishing.blogspot.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/mountainsplash/ Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA ~
