Generally speaking, rating a UI does not consist of "Hey, I think it\'s fine! What\'s the problem?  Get the hell out of my test lab!"<br><br>I think Snap need to do some usability testing - I\'ve seen lots of people who move the mouse cursor over text - in varying patterns - as they read it (I used to do that, but somewhere along the line I stopped).  Imagine how annoying Snap previews are to them.<br><br>Hell, I even know someone who clicks and drags over text to select each paragraph as he reads it.  It\'s an almost unconscious thing for him, but all these things should be taken into account when adding \'UI\' (or just plain noise, in the case of Snap) to plain text.<br><br>Plain text is simple and readable - apart from adding aesthetic formatting and affordances, there\'s not much need to mess with it, unless you have a dumb idea/business plan.</div>\

Suggestion to SNAP folks: there is an old JavaScript thing that lets you choose to open links on the same or a new window that you can code into a blog. They should provide a similar feature: turn SNAP off by default and let users turn it on if desired.<br><br>I\'d turn it on. I like the choice. How about it?</div>\
