That's fine. It's the other type that people are asking you not to do: didn't ship on time, packaging damaged, delivery person left it in the wrong place, the wrong item was sent, etc.

The Chrome extension "Fix Fixed" adds a button which removes all fixed-position content. It doesn't solve the lightbox problem (because you still have to click a button) but it's a big help with real estate.
