While I agree with Dan to a point, I also think that someone has to push
the limits a bit. OK, it may not be politic to use NetScape to the nth, but
it makes life for some of us a bit more interesting. Someone has to do it.
It's as if when colour TV came along all programmes were filmed with a
limited colour set for viewers with a B/W TV.
I'm sure this one will run and run, and I've probably set myself up for
some of Dan's excellent sarcasm and irony, but there you go ... live by the
sword.
