This is really just a symptom of the 'Gee, doesn't everyone use IE6?'

alternative browsers--even to the extent of not taking the trouble to
detect which browser/version you have and at least putting out a 'Sorry,
our website doesn't support your browser/version' message. (And by
older/alternative browsers, I don't mean Mosaic 1.0; but IE5 and
Netscape 7.0 at a minimum).
Sorry to rant on, but this is one of my pet peeves.It's a worthwhile rant. You, me, the "Code Bitch", and a lot of others find it a pet peeve. Stupidity at it's zenith. Why would anyone want to go to the work of writing a web site, that did not use standards so every browser could visit?
