Although I once browsed with JavaScript disabled, I do not do so know. It was not entirely due to too many web-sites which "needed" JavaScript that made me change - for a while there were a few that were inconvenient and I started leaving it on with no ill-effects. Besides, I've recently doen some JavaScript developement (it's not the world's best language but most of the crappiness is actually the DOM implementation, not JavaScript in and of itself) and learnt more of what it is capable of and how. Think of it "know thine enemy" if you like, but I don't find it's presence in my web browser a threat.

Email is, of course, another thing. It doesn't belong there.
