anyone who's seen the site reviews i used to perform on thelist knows
i take the opposite approach... and people appreciated it, and told
me so, even if their first reaction was to call me a grumpy SOB...
it's just a feeling, another one will be along in a moment... it's
disrespectful to assume the designer cannot handle honest feedback...
but being honest can give the designer an opportunity to grow... i
think that shows real respect to the person...
frankly, i have strong opinions that as a culture we are already too
worried about hurting feelings, and too many people accept adequate
or sub-par as the de facto standard just because it might upset
someone to suggest otherwise...
i won't do that to someone... it's more cruel than the quick sting of
the truth...

The Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 development team has asked
developers to test their sites in the new IE and report bugs. Even if
you can't help out, their blog keeps readers up-to-date with CSS
development and support:

Most recently mentioned on the blogs is that IE7 will NOT support the
:after and :before pseudo-selectors, and that min/max-height/width
may not make it into IE7.
Sub-tip: Read the blog comments for posts from the Microsft team.
That's where they often clarify things in the post, or answer
questions from readers.
