Actually a text-only version is the option for anyone
who doesn't want to accept the spying. Your link
redirects to it: text.npr.org. There are two buttons on
their "please accept our spying" page. One, requiring
script, is to agree to spying. The other, to reject
spying, sends one to the blank page with about 8 plain
links. Each link then goes to a text-only story page.


If you use "links are numbered" in lynx, you can see exactly how many
links there are on the page. text.npr.org works great in lynx, but it
appears to be limited to listing today's stories only. I haven't tried
saving a link to see if older stories are still available, just not
listed, or if they expire off. I'm betting "still available, just not
listed".

But still, NPR's dual option feels like a bit of a tantrum
on their part:
"Oh, you don't like spying? OK, wiseguy. See how you like
this stripped down version!" Apparently they hope people
will relent and decide they'd rather allow spying than to
be cast into the dreary graphical world of Internet circa
1996.


I don't know. I prefer the stripped down version.
