I don't know how many webmasters I've emailed with polite
explainations (and the best of intentions) and their response is
genereally, "Please upgrade your browser to the most recent version."
Since that sounds like "You're wrong and we're right", it usually
causes me to ignore their services in the future. I would expect
that most of the customers they lose don't even bother to email
them explaining why they were turned away. *sigh* oh well.
