Me too, all my menus must have thousands of links, because some SEOer
told them "people don't like to click" or "it's good for the Juice"
or some crazy thing.

Many of our customers don't seem to believe anyone has a small screen
like on a netbook along with a mouse without a scrollwheel. In those
cases, the submenu goes offscreen and you can never reach the lowest
level items anyway. With keyboard, you can always reach them.
