 For certain kind of users.

 In particular, for users who have a handful of bookmarks.  We have had
 this discussion before, and I know you will read this and probably
 ignore it because this is not the GNOME Usability Team doing the
 talking, and I *refuse* to list my qualifications just to be listened
 to.  You just don't see that the system that Epiphany has does not
 scale.  With Epiphany I have *stopped* using bookmarks because of that
 reason.  I don't want to have to open a dialog (even if it's not modal)
 and type something in a search box just to be able to find what I'm
 looking for.  I really want a _menu_ in the program.  I don't want
 folders, I don't want dialogs, I don't want fancy search methods.  I
 want a menu.  I have *bad* memory, I don't want to even *try* to
 recall the name of the topic I came up with when I bookmarked
 something.  I'm not a librarian, I can't come up with good keyw^Wtopics
 out of the blue.

 I'm not ignoring you in that regard.  I'm just having trouble finding
 the time.

 Whatever, I won't bait.
