If I'm browsing a site with a top menu in lynx I press the delete key to scroll down past the menu so I don't have to press down repeatedly. Then capital V at the cookie prompt rejects it "foreVer" (for the rest of the session).

My version does, however, default to nntp for news.* subdomains unless you supply the protocol, so that's annoying.

Or you can use elinks and click on the links with the mouse...
