[thelist] Browser Stats

[rudy]

> Rather than pulling things out of thin air or darker places...

a classic, alan

as is much of the rest of your post

thank you for taking the time to write it


michael, consider it an honour to have been ripped by the head lemur


as aardvark says,

   "catering to that last 4-5% does not require an ugly site or
    major design trade-offs... if you think they do, you probably
    need to brush up on your skills..."

so please don't keep trying to defend yourself with statements like

  "having *one* set of HTML code that renders acceptably in
   current  browsers as well as older browsers is impossible"

because it certainly is possible

perhaps that quote is out of context, because further on in the thread it
becomes apparent that you really are aware of cross-browser and
accessibility coding issues

using somebody else's browser stats to justify proprietary coding is pretty
feeble

and accessibility has nothing to do with browser stats, does it

another classic -- thanks, nik
