Roughly 0.005% or so of the people who want to read the information posted here for free also complain about how it’s presented, FWIW.

If you want to live with a browser which can't handle CSS properly, that's up to you. Just don't blame me for it. Doogal, did you even bother to read what I wrote?

I do consider folks who have to live with IE’s buggy CSS handling; that’s why anything I write currently doesn’t use the HTML/CSS which triggers the bugs recently introduced into IE, even though the HTML I have to use to work around the problem is in a sense improper.

Indeed, if I was unconcerned about IE users I wouldn’t have bothered to write this post.

So can the sarcasm, please. If you want to live with a browser which can’t handle CSS properly, that’s up to you. Just don’t blame me for it.

After all, why worry about the IE users, they only constitute 85% of the browsing public... Good attitude. After all, why worry about the IE users, they only constitute 85% of the browsing public…

I think it's kind of funny to see open-source advocates faulting the IE 7 *beta* for breaking third-party plugins, given the fact that I had to update my Firefox extensions repeatedly as it moved from 0.7 to 1.0.

Folks who install beta software on their machine need to expect this. It's not as though Microsoft has been reserved about stating that IE is part of the OS. <br> <br>I'm just a little tired of being blamed for IE6's buggy layout.

I’m just a little tired of being blamed for IE6’s buggy layout.
