If you've been to mozillazine.org lately, you'll notice that they tell 
you that Internet Explorer and Netscape 4.xx will not render the site 
properly because of their "poor CSS capabilities", heck, even Opera, 
which is nearly as standards-compliant as Mozilla/Netscape 6.x itself 
does a terrible job rendering their pages.

The only browser that can render it correctly, is a Mozilla or 
Mozilla-based browser.

Oh yes, they say, this is because of Mozilla's superior 
standards-compliance...

Right, well, a friend of mine looked over the page and found that they 
"browser-sniff", and if it doesn't detect you using Mozilla or Netscape 
6.xx, or the like, it simply directs your browser to a non-existent CSS 
file, IE.css I believe it was, now he was able to 'repair" the page and 
load it in Internet Explorer and Opera perfectly by modifying the page 
source so that IE and Opera could load the existent Mozilla.css.

So what gives?

Well, it appears that mozillazine.org is using a simple deception that 
will fool most users into thinking that no other browser is as 
advanced/capable as Mozilla, if this were true however, they would 
simply need to write the pages in standards that IE and Opera simply 
don't support and let them really FUBAR the page on their own, but as 
is, they must sabotage it so that other browsers cannot render it correctly.

Now, believe me, I hate Internet Explorer with a passion, but come on, 
if Mozillazine.org is doing this deliberately, then that really says 
something about them, and it gives Mozilla a bad name.

If you are as outraged by this as I am, then please E-Mail 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and ask them to stop this.

Thank you,

Ryan Davis
