"since when was it a productive activity!" was the point .... sure I know that was 'tongue in cheek', but I think you took my comment far too seriously!! :D

- the internet is so much like 'real life' these days... you can be 'very unproductive' just staring at the mags in a shop, etc, etc, but this is your time to waste! :)

The comment by 'yeah, right' was more directed at the fact it takes much more time to get to the thing he wants, ie a not so productive implementation of a website... blocking the distracting flashy stuff, pop-ups that get in the way, etc lets you quickly see the thing you want..

These are just the same as the loud salemen at the front of a dept store, that you have to get past, to get the simple thing you want....

- you can also use a 'unpretty browsing interface' and it looks to your boss like you are 'working' when you just have a bit of 'relaxion' online...

but we are waaaay offtopic......
