I really don't see how it is off topic as it is relative to CSS and CSS-hacks in general.

From: http://www.css-discuss.org/policies.html#offensensitivity
"We encourage discussion and debate, and don't mind if it gets a bit heated. However, this does not mean you can flame other list members. If you think someone's flaming you or being needlessly offensive, take it up with them in private e-mail. If they get abusive, discuss it with the list administrators (the e-mail address is in the headers of every list message). Don't take it onto the list. Regardless of how long you've been online, I highly recommend a reading of the following: Avoiding Personal Conflict on Mailing Lists."

However, if the moderators label it as such then that is that.


The reason that it is off-topic is not because it may cause a heated discussion, but because it is not about the practical implementation of CSS. The list is not devoted to topics that are "relative to CSS and CSS-hacks in general," but to real-world uses of CSS. Your question was not about using CSS, but rather about the idea of not supporting a particular browser -- be this through CSS, Javascript, whatever. If you had asked, "How can I hide styles from IE5?" or said "Here's how I am hiding styles from IE5, and I'd appreciate everyone's opinions on my method," that would be on-topic. The question that you asked has no right or wrong answer, and doesn't help the list members become better at constructing style sheets.

In addition, please trim your posts before sending to the list, as the policies state and as I have already appealed for on the list once today.
