Reading through all of the blurb, much of what is on these pages would match opinions in this group - it bemoans the lack of compliance to standards by IE and Netscape, older versions of these and other browsers. That is OK. But then they go on to promote web developers to divert all but version 5 browsers to an "up-date your browser" page, listing only IE, Netscape, Opera and a Linux browser. They also are pushing for the immediate, and exclusive, adoption by web developers to use the very latest HTML, XTML, XSL and so on. And all this on web pages that are not set up as recommended by the W3C's HTML 4.01 (which I just happen to have downloaded). When I sent an email (of some derision, it has to be confessed) to the person claiming to be leading this band of clowns, it was bounced back to me - "Undeliverable Mail, Unknown host" So what are we to make of that ?
