Agreed - like you wouldn't accept today to have an *operator* plug you to
the right party everytime you pick up the telephone... when the technology
evolved - everybody evolved.

I don't agree - the web - per se - is NOT a mass media - and most statistics
show a shrinking portion of people using older browsers. Since it's a
*niche* media - I explain to my client *who* their target audience is - and
THEY want to be seen as technologically *in* - so they accept to have their
site coded for browsers version 5+.
They have plenty of choice - but personally - I'd rather call my party
directly and not have a third party eavesdropping - if you can accept the
comparison. It's a matter of evolving with the media and the technology
requirements of such.
