Do me a favor, will you? Stop giving me the run around just like the rest of the world does. I am sick and tired of reaching for something, following all the directions, etc., etc., only to find out I can’t have it.

From the saddest email I’ve received today.

It’s from an Internet Explorer user, frustrated that he couldn’t get Instapaper’s “Read Later” bookmarklet installed. (It’s incredibly clunky to do in IE, because IE doesn’t support the troops, poisons your children, and gives you cancer.)

It’s a sad look into the everyday browsing life of a user who, for whatever reason, is exclusively using Internet Explorer in 2010.
