Your sentiments are admirable. No issues there. But there are other issues to be considered. For example.. was the job awarded to a contractor, or developed in house? Did the contract terms include support for major browsers, or compliance to the relevant spec? If not, why? Was the contract in violation of govt guidelines? Highly unlikely, because our babus are trained to follow guidelines to a dot. So where is the problem? It's higher up, where guidelines for software procurement are made. If such guidelines exist and were not followed, follow the due process for lodging a complaint. It will be more effective to approach the source of the problem, rather than rant and rave at every instance of the problem. As an example, rather than argue with the owner of every polluting vehicle you see on the road, it is better to request the govt. to enforce the pollution guidelines more strictly. Of course members of shouting brigade will disagree because it takes away the chance from them to shout ;-) -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
