Your five seconds to do this is more than balanced by the hundreds (thousands?) of five-second intervals it takes for everyone to see if there's any more text to be read at the bottom?

You can not blame UT members who advantage over the other when it comes to Internet Services. On our case, we are using Proxy Server, and so anytime we can connect into it just as easy as connecting to a LAN server. On my case, I just minimize the UT-IE Window while doing something, then maximizing it again anytime I want as long as our Server is On-Line.
