If you too dislike the navigation strip

Found in an answer by jennifer to this request on the support boards:

Thank you for your feedback. The "navigation strip" contains useful links that make navigating through LiveJournal easier, and was designed and implemented because data indicated that people had problems locating frequently-used links from individual journals. It's also designed to help make it easier to see if you're logged into LiveJournal from an individual journal, which was one of our most frequently-requested features.

Previously, the navigation strip was still being developed, and users were given a chance to opt into displaying it. Unfortunately, information on users who tried the navigation strip and decided they didn't like it wasn't stored, due to an error in recording user preferences. Because LiveJournal staff is now comfortable that the navigation strip is ready for production release, they turned it on for all accounts except for the ones that had actively dismissed the "Did you know" box about the navigation strip. I'm sorry that your preference to not display the navigation strip wasn't stored; this is a one-time situation, and it won't be turned on for your account again. You can control your viewing options, including whether or not the navigation strip is displayed, at http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/

I like the navigation strip, but I'm happy to see I don't impose it on others.

I doubt I'd have a problem with it if it weren't for the fact that I'm using an old, slowish computer with a smaller monitor than most people prefer. As it is, the nav strip just takes up space on the screen without doing anything I don't already do without it, so I'm happier when the thing is not imposed on me.
