A blog to avoid:

The Times Online has a story about Tony Blair becoming a Catholic before Christmas. Towards the end, there are some links. One is to WhatReallyHappened.com.

Guess how big the html file is? Over 7 meg. That's got to be one of the biggest around. Remember, this is only html (text and formatting instructions). As it turns out, there are few images. If you use dial-up and accidentally clicked on the link to WhatReallyHappened.com it would take about 20 minutes to load.

The site appears to have no archiving at all. Every post is there, dating back to July 27, 2003. Congratulations, guys. I'll try to never ever visit you again.
