How hard can it actually be for a website to support IE 6? Normally I am pretty 
quick to say 'we don't support it' but this one shouldn't be that difficult. I 
go with marketing on this one, 10 percent of your market share is too much to 
walk away from.  I certainly agree with the EOL arguments and lack of security 
support and software support from MS, but that is an aurgument for the other 
side of the desktop and the people that support that.  It really isn't the 
question you are facing.

I work for an association that produces several newsletters for its membership, 
but a recent website upgrade is causing IE6 to display our pages poorly or not 
at all.  I would like to build an argument to stop supporting IE6 and also help 
encourage users to upgrade.  Does anyone in the group have any good arguements 
about using or supporting IE6?

Our readership is 10% IE6.  So marketing is screaming support it.  The 
developers are saying its junk anyway and they need to be off it.  I have my 
own opinions on it but would like to recommend a "general industry opinion".

So, what sayeth the industry?
