Sorry Georg,
I should have read your article before (re)using that joke!
I still not sure I'd spend extra effort to effectively penalise IE6 users.
IE6 is not Netscape 4, its CSS support is not that bad.

I just realised I'm sticking up for IE6!
Must be the payback for all the nasty things I've said about it :)

Years ago someone "threatened" to start a "protect IE6 from Georg"
union. Are you a member..? :-D
I'm only presenting my favored solution for splitting IE6 away from the
rest so it can be served something it can handle. What others want to do
with IE6 once it is separated, is totally up to them.
I'm usually quite nice to IE6 users, as can be seen on other pages on my
site. All I do is to display a message to IE6 users, urging them to
upgrade from their obsolete browser.
Some actually accuse me of being "too nice to IE6" now and then, so I
receive flak from both sides. No big deal.
Fixing IE6' bugs so it renders "close enough for comfort" isn't much of
a deal either, although it may be necessary to roll out some of the big
artillery to get past its most severe bugs and weaknesses in certain
cases. Generally: I see the effort I put into getting IE6 in line, after
all the other browsers are served, as good coding practice and something
to do when I get bored.
regards
Georg
