I thought I was the only person who obsessively clicked and highlighted text as I read.

We should start a club.

I do this too. I'm convinced it's a vestigial habit of the "old" web, where it was very common to have a crazy img based background and text that you couldn't read. I found myself highlighting text on the web all the time just so I could get better contrast.

It's possible myspace will create a whole new generation of obsessive highlighters.
