This may be just me, but "locking out" anybody based on their browser is
not a tactic that is compatible or consistent with the Open Source way. 

In fact I think it's below us. We should be taking the high road and
setting an example cuz 1) that's the quality of people we want to be. 2)
We don't want Linux users developing a reputation of warring against M$.
We about being pro-Linux, not anti-M$. 3) It punishes computer users who
are too inexperienced to know how to change their browser. And 4) which
is perhaps the most important, our way is of freedom--including the
freedom to use the software we want. It would be the height of hypocrisy
for legions of Linux webmasters to laud freedom while compelling
visitors to use or not use software of their choice. It just ain't us.
