Why are you responding on list about this?

Haven't you been apart of, or read, enough discussions like this to
know how they end? I'm not going to respond on list about
accessibility. There's no point. You're not going to change my mind
and I'm not going to change yours.

This I will respond to.

When did I ever say that *wasn't* the purpose? That *is* the purpose
of counting the hits. Where did you get confused?

The purpose of counting the hits of JS enabled browsers is to
determine if adding JS functionality to my website is worth my time or
not.

You have obviously not been following this thread very closely. If you
had you'd see that I stated I'd come up with a way to support both JS
and non-JS browsers.
