When a user installs Skype or updates to a version that has this feature, they have the option to turn it off. It even tells them what it is going to do. I understand that most users aren't savvy enough to pay attention to these things, but this is like turning off the custom outline on clicking links in Mozilla, or turning off the click sound in IE. Also, even if users find it annoying, I really doubt they will look down on *your* site because it does the same exact thing all the other sites do, that is, it has that weird-phone-number-thing (as your client might have put it). Basically, don't fix what you didn't break! -- -- Christian Montoya christianmontoya.net ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
