Agreed - I was not suggesting that it did.

I'm not so sure. Of the many hundreds of sites I visit, there are only
a small number that give me problems. There is only ONE other site I
have found that requires as much special security configuration as
yours.

Don't get me wrong. I was not 'panning' the site in any way - it's a
good idea, and I too appreciate your efforts. I was just trying to
suggest that there may be another kind of problem that people might
have if they have some security/privacy in place.
We have had a good discussion on this and I think I understand your
position.

If you recall our discussion, many of the problems center on the
security/privacy issues, not the browser, but, yes, your site does
work better overall (especially the 'tiny text' problem) :-) with IE
emulation.

You might try posting this idea on the alt.privacy newsgroup and see
what kind of response you get. :-)

Currently, it's about an even battle, but with the new 'features'
coming from M$, it WILL be extremely hard to have ANY privacy on the
net. M$ wants to know everything about everybody. <cynic > That might
have something to do with the justice dept giving them only a gentle

Those of use who still value some privacy - but I do understand your
view on this.
