Um, if Netscape 6 is higher than any other browser in revision, that surely 
means it's totally 100% backward compatible, and as such, wouldn't that 
mean anyone using HTML V1.1 would work with ANYBRWOSER anyway?

I truly hate sites that have 500 lines of Client Javascript testing in 
them, which often doesn't work (and I use NS3 or IE3 because they are much 
lighter and meet all the current HTML standards anyway.)

It's NO surprise the $22 million Scape.com.au project between TEN and 
Village failed so badly.  It DEMANDED you use a very specific browser 
edition.  I wasn't going to waste my time downloading another browser, 
installing it, getting distracted and browsing off somewhere else never to 
come back to SCAPE.

Oh - yeah, that's right, 90% of people who visited the site had the same 
problem.

When will these IDIOTS who develop web sites realise the MOMENT they send a 
person AWAY from their site, the person will probably NEVER come back.

Portals are wonderful things for taking people AWAY form your site!

ALL my web sites have total local content, I have LINKS pages for reference 
to other sites if needed.  I don't WANT people to go away from my web site 
and never come back.
