Here, perhaps, is the ultimate example of what you're describing. While working on the rental darkroom list, someone sent me a few links to darkrooms in the UK. I went to one site and, upon logging in, received a message that, in essence, said "Get lost. Our site doesn't support your browser. Go upgrade your browser and then come back." Yeah, I'll hurry back ... now what was that URL again <g>. BTW, I'm using Netscape 4.7x ... one would think a web sit would consider writing code that's compatible with such a popular browser.
