I know you said that out of spite more as an actual argument...
Spite is a bit strong. Just sarcasm to make a point. Where do we draw the line? We may as well automate everything for people.

I place buy orders up on the market. It really annoys me when people undercut my buy orders by 0.01 ISK. We need an Ebay style "bid napper" that can automatically make my buy orders adjust to beat their price. It's unfair someone who logs in all the time should be able to gain an advantage over me.

kinda sure that if CCP indroduces a system whereby slapping yourself round the face would increase cap recharge, some people would defend it and say "well if I am slapping myself round the face infront of a computer, don't I deserve an advantage over those who do not?" rather than question the method.
skill que is so long overdue, most of us have an RL which frequently gets in the way of logging in at the right times, not to mention local ISP issues etc, and waking up in the middle of the night to change a skill is just well...I could never regiment my waking hours over a game.

I simply don't believe what you're saying there.
After a couple of weeks in game, you should have a mix of short / medium / long skills available at any point.
At this very moment ... goes to browse char ... I can pick anything from 25 minutes to 33 days.
Ok, I'll give you an example then. I have an alt that I want to complete a fairly length skill plan for. It'll take about 45 days.
Right now I need a skill that is at least 18 hours to get me through sleep tonight and work tomorrow. You know how many skills in my plan that are trainable right now, and will last that long? Two. Warhead Updgrades III and Scout Drone Operation IV. And if I hadn't sat here and babysat Scout Drone Operation III tonight I would only have one.
There were several days where I had zero skills that would get me over the work/sleep hump and so I had to choose between training some skill that wasn't in the plan (and hence not very useful/important) and losing training time. For a game that is supposed to level you without grinding not being able to queue at least two skills is a pretty asinine drawback.
A Very stupid question, but you do know that you don't have to train the skills in the order that evemon spits them out right? You don't have to finish one before starting the next? The only other reason that you could be in this position is that you hardly ever log into the character to actually play it and plan skills, and I wouldn't call that grinding

Hmmm, web based skill training switching... I already see the websites arising that automatically change your skill if the previous one finished...
I'm not giving some third party website my EVE login. That's just asking for it. A skill queue of limited capabilities is safer and more preferable, though I'd love to load it up with a bunch of short skills that can be completed while I'm at work. The limitation that makes the most sense to me is time, rather than skill based. Queue only starts new skills for a week or something then you have to log in and reinitialize it. Even that is pretty silly since a lot of people no longer log in except to switch skills.

so it would be easier for them
do you not know anyone - mostly everyone - that logs on just to change a few skills and ends up playing the game for an hour?
