with that font and words like seperation, priviledge .... and the navigation! (would it have killed you to add just a tiny bit of javascript for a right and left arrow, or space, or page-down or...something) - it just comes off as just too unpolished. I rarely complain about form over substance but I didn't make it all the way through.

The OpenBSD folks are notorious for presenting extremely basic formatting on their sites, articles, presentations, etc. I think the Comic Sans is most likely a troll of other websites where the formatting, UI, etc, look like they got more polish than the content itself.

Move your mouse button, and keep clicking. Not really the biggest deal. If not having a JS-based presentation kept you from reading all the way through, you're probably the person who will never use tame() anyways, so... it is what it is. :P

It's likely I'll use tame() at some point, and I found the presentation annoying enough to read that I went to google and searched for information about it in an easier to digest format. Still though, point proved: if content is interesting enough, poor presentation won't entirely turn people off from learning about it.

No, I read through until I saw "priviledge" two or three times; along with "seperate" it was too much. It's 2015, a spell-check is not beyond anyone's editor.

This issue has come up multiple times. At this point they're only trolling their own users.

Loads great in Emacs eww.el browser :)
