Our goal is to make information freely available to as many people as possible. Annoying people who try to use Wikipedia would make it less pleasant for them to use the site and run contrary to our mission. We need to support IE6 as well as possible, given realistic constraints on our manpower. We should not be taking out our frustration at IE6 on users who typically didn't choose their browser in the first place. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
