Since the project I am working on is software to support Internet
commerce where the product's customer wants to support the widest
possible base of potential buyers, the fact that some AOL people
will be clever enough to figure this out doesn't help a great
deal. The product's customers still view themselves, rightly so, as
disenfranchising more than 10,000,000 AOL subscribers as potential
buyers if they use any product that generates JavaScript. We
still have to code a version of the product that will
produce HTML only--no JavaScript.
Internet Explorer 3.0.2 is almost as brain dead vis-a-vis JavaScript.
None of which has anything to do with list management.
