I didn't start the thread. But you can't ignore reality. Reality is that most people use IE. So if you ignore that fact, then you are not good at your job of designing websites, because it is a key factor. They don't make seats in busses 3' wide because some people are really fat. They make them so that the majority of people can fit comfortably in them (well, reasonably comfortably anyway). If you worry about every case, then you cheat the majority, and your product is less useful. > > Furthermore you don't seem to think highly of > people working for > newspapers. > Personally I don't look down on people, no > matter their work nor social > status. My point is that newspapers are spinsters, as they often take a word or phrase out of context to make a story fit their agenda. It has nothing to do with the status of the people who work there, only their ethics and motivations, which are to make things appear the way they think will generate the most interest; not the truth.
