Your browser (which one?) just does a good job of detecting the encoding used for your page http://www.geocities.com/elevendigitboy/. For instance, if I view itr with IE after unselecting the Autoselect item of the View>Encoding menu, I get garbage as expected. Otherwise, IE does recognize Shift_JIS.
