Maybe I got the context of your silly comment mixed up. My apologizes. I certainly don't want to put anything in your mouth.
I said *IE7* sucks. I have enjoyed previous versions of IE. It has become increasingly apparent that many people aren't aware of the memory issues and resulting oddities of IE7. I thought as admins we strive for up-time and deferral of data/work loss. Just because you haven't encountered an issue, doesn't mean that you wont, or that your users don't. Information is good, right? I'm offering my personal experiences with a product that I have performed tests with. I don't understand why people like you take it personally like I'm trying to tell you what to do. I'm not. I never said it sucks for you or anyone else. But ultimately, as product robustness goes, IE7 sucks - comparatively speaking (is that better for you?)
