ok, i dont like lighting into other listers, but this one has lit my fuse 
right at its base.

you want to use a web browser thats in the minority? fine. quit bitching if 
it doesnt work with a site that was made with microsoft tools. it might be 
true that microsoft doesnt properly follow the standards, and that may suck 
in the grand scheme of things, but your being a standards nazi is going to 
do nothing more than piss another lister (julie) off. she made that site out 
of pure kindness and generosity. she has _no_ obligation to spend more hours 
than she already has just to translate her site to unified html, doing so 
just to get _you_ off of her back.

so, you dont want to use ie, no matter what??? - fine, continue to be part 
of the 1% that cant get access to julies site, and deal with it.
